Artist picture
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
After the FIRST Version (and it's feedback), I took a quick breath, raised the amp's volume back up, accidentally sped up the Casio's percussion (by a notch), shouted into the mic, and rolled with it. The same arrangements, just a bit quicker. The ending is sloppy--I wanted it to be like the first one, but by then, I was tired, almost dizzy and my fingers were sore as hell. THAT WAS IN 1982!! FAST FORWARD TO 2007: "Everybody Jam, part 2" was quickly given a new lease on life for it's 25th Anniversary. If it SOUNDS familiar to you, it SHOULD!! You see, since it WAS an instrumental (despite the opening shouting), I wrote some lyrics for it, re-equalized it, and it became the NEW Cosmic Funk Orchestra track for 2007, "Share This World". The full version of THAT 'new' track IS all of "E-Jam, part 2"--just with lyrics. Hey, if it's YOUR 'ancient instrumental', you can DO shit like that. 'Self-Recycling'.
