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
OK---here's the deal: Got this new bass about a couple of months ago (via AMAZON--no, really), and been taming the sucker ever since. Came up with about 5 new separate grooves that I've been dying to record.... Only for my computer to FRITZ OUT (luckily, EVERYTHING was backed-up!!!). Got a NEW Machine, but it has NO Soundcard!!! (HA!!) So, I went BACK to AMAZON (yep!!) and got this badass Digital Mixer. Took a whole night to break it in, and now I thought I'd record this first--of five--new jams. Sweet!!! And here it is. It's a Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra instrumental (simply because I had no lyric idea for it), and the working title was "Puddin' Head". I simply decided to call it "Gittin' Mellow", instead-- and thus is the story of this new jam for November, 2013. -Lawrence Wise (a.k.a. OSMOSIS) (Sunday, November 3, 2013) PS: Just this past Thursday, November 7, 2013, MYSTICDELIC joined into this smooth funk soup by adding some keyboards to fill it out. Still funky-smooth, but now, it's an OSMODELIC Thang. N-Joy!! From the OSMOSIS Album, "DIMENSION 7" (SG-201567) (c)(p)2014 Starcase Recording Company, Ltd. (All Rights Reserved) Album available on iTunes, in June 2014.
