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
"In The Beginning, There Was....(a) Light-which gave way to; (b)Sound-bringing forth; (c)Civilization-only to expand into; (d)Space-the FINAL Frontier?! (Space Opus III)". YOU Tell ME that THAT is NOT a MOUTHFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, that is the whole, entire title of this 19 Minute, One-Take, Two Keyboard, piece of music. And, it is probably the oldest track on the new Cosmic Funk Orchestra album (to-be): April 1985!! I tried to put this on a couple of my Cassette-Albums back-in-the-day (hell, I even tried to get it on "Industrial Strength"--too damn big!), but I eventually let it sit. "Git Weird!!" was intended to be called "In The Beginning, There Was....."--- but I'm so glad I changed my mind in 2004!! (It paid off in 2006!). So, "In The Beginning...... (Space Opus III)" will be a showcase for this new concept album, which is about space and aliens. I think it will fit perfectly.
