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
The instrumental tracks to "Legend" and "Invasion" were both recorded during the same session, in 2002. Now, they are both to be a part of a new Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra concept album project. CHAPTER ONE: "Legend" officially opens up the 'story' as we are (re-)introduced to (the currently 'un-named') 'Mandeaux Rex', The Celestial Dragon, as he surveys a brand new pre-historic world, and decides to 'appoint' himself....'GOD'. Jump forward many centuries later: Planet Gaea's people evolve and build a world of culture and technology, all under the watchful eye and word of "The ONE". Many centuries after that, this new Planet, named 'Gaea', has been selected to receive an 'invitation' to join the United Planetary Forum' (U. P. F.), the grand consortium of ALL the KNOWN WORLDS within the UNIVERSE---- Only that the people of Planet Gaea are ignorant to the existence of other worlds or peoples. Thanks to the 'teachings' of GOD (a.k.a. The ONE), Gaea believes that they are ALL there is in the Universe. At the same time, The U.P.F. has NO IDEA that a certain 'Mad Renegade' they dispatched a few eons earlier has taken up residence on this 'young, naive, innocent, blue world'. Nonetheless, The U.P.F. proceeds with their invitation plans by dispatching a Diplomat to Planet Gaea. And, The Story Begins.....
