An Experimental Project (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra), and a Loose Funky Jammer (OSMOSIS). 2 separate sides, the very same dude.
Hello. Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS is actually a One-Man Home Recording Project that has been my 'stress relief' (ha ha!), since about MAY, 1981. I'm from that first wave of DIY Cassette-Tapers ('analog'--and PROUD OF IT!). Hell, the majority of my material between '81 and '99 was done on the earliest large-model Casio Synthesizers (the MT-68, MT-400-V and MT-200), with a Yamaha thrown into the mix (on occasion). Recently, I've started posting my material on the web (after transfering it from cassette-tape to digital disc, and then to MP3---a very hard process, considering the AGE of some of the tapes). It was in these past 2 1/2 years on the web that I discovered that, despite the ridicule you're going to get, there IS an Audience for your music--no matter how different it is. I've been telling some of my friends and peers for years to NEVER get rid of ANY of their recordings, no matter how 'crappy' you were (of think you were), because having a 'Back Catalog' is a damn good thing. You MAY have been sitting on some GEMS, and not even know it. And, when I discovered that a 21-year-old jam I posted on MySpace recently ROCKED a lot of folks as far away as SCOTLAND and AFRICA (!), I felt pumped. It means that this was a 'dream' that came thru in the end.

Story behind the song
'Legend Of Pistol-Wolf' is a psychedelic story-song about the "SKINWALKER", a beast in Native American lore. A supposedly mythical shape-shifter, normally resembling a wolf, bear or coyote. The star of this Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra entry is a former hippie Navajo biker named after his father, Black Gunn ("Pistol"), and the "beast" that used to terrorize his Tribe on their Nevada Reservation when his father was younger (the....."Wolf"[?!?]). In 1962, a young Pistol-Wolf (now, a Motorcycle-Riding, Rifle-Toting Outlaw/Guardian of his Tribe) finally meets his.......mother--an "Outsider" who was believed to have been killed by the "beast" after Pistol-Wolf was born. And, on this same night, the "beast" makes a return---after an entire generation.
