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
So far, I've collaborated with just about ALL of my DAILY DOSE OF FUNK brothers-- The BEATMASTER-1 is the latest. Also, this will make the SECOND Brand New Track I've uploaded within 4 Days!!! One-For-One (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra, and OSMOSIS!). Like most of my Newest Tracks, this one is FRESH (only 4 Hours Old, at the time of THIS Posting): Friday Afternoon, June 15, 2007 @ 3:30 pm EST. What I did was extend The BEATMASTER'S "Orchestral Funk" by 23 seconds (using the opening as BREAKS), and as for the lyrics--- I 'improvised' them during the re-editing. So, I wrote down only ONE VERSE, ONE CHANT, and ONE Joke-Phrase---- and the rest are ALL Ab-libs, carefully edited to maintain a flow. Bear with me, because I'm getting better at digital recording as I go along (so, if some of the vocals sound 'earth-shatteringly loud'), then...ok. Now, as for the song title and song idea: Use the crowded Beltway during 'rush-hour' as a metaphor for the crowded Dance Floor (especially when the ladies are-literally-'Bumper 2 Bumper'; 'Booty to Booty' on the crowded Dance Floor!). Yea honeys, Back That Thang On Up!!! Well, as per what makes this Collective great, here's the Credits/License: ARTISTS: OSMOSIS and The BEATMASTER 1.
