A brand new Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra instrumental. Some weird synthesizer bass work, and even weirder percussion.

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
The song description kinda says it all. The bass line was laid down earlier this year (mid-January 2009), while the drum track I married it with is the trusty "Hung" line (without the keyboards). Added to it is a pulse effect which is an amplification/modification of the feedback heard in the background of the bass line (talk about being resourceful). The result: A pretty weird, yet pumpin', Cosmic Funk Orchestra instrumental. A little bit weirder than "You're In HELL, Charlie Brown!!", but also a bit funkier than "Sheer Terror (Too Scared To Scream!)". Just another experimental Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra thang. UPDATE (Friday, May 11, 2012): Album version of "Mutant Funk" is available on the new Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra album for 2012, "Do NOT Try This AT HOME!! (But, Since You're Gonna Do It ANYWAY, Don't Say I Never Warned You!!)".

It's actually been updated since you last commented, bro. Those keyboards I've added gives it a Dexter Wansel-type feel.
