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
Originally, the LYRIC idea for "Flick Off" wound up as part of "The Shaken-Booty Syndrome" in 2006. That OSMOSIS & The FUNKASAURUS/Daily Dose Of Funk track had only a couple of rough, quickie verses, played over one of my early tracks (1986's "Standing On The Edge Of The Funk"), and remixed with some percussion and guitar from The FUNKASAURUS himself. Needless to say, THAT track became the "format" for The Daily Dose Of Funk "cyber-band"--to this day. In August of 2009, I've finished the lyrics for "Flick Off!!", and just only 1 week prior to this upload, I've created the new backing track--- ---and FINISHED the final song just 2 days before this upload. Along with a few other tracks I'm posting this year, this song represents a new, guitar-based sound for Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS. Its an entire "century" away from the Casio-based beginnings. (Only complaint is: learning guitar is MURDER on the FINGERS!!!) Oh, by the way: THIS IS THE "SINGLE MIX" OF "Flick Off!!". The full album version is available via MediaFire.
