And Then, Some Thangs ARE!!

And that is probably what describes Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS, a dual one-man studio project of Lawrence Wise.

The original project, Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra, is a hyper-psychedelic/futuristic-progressive thang that originated around May 1981. Some 8 years later in 1989, came the spinoff OSMOSIS, a wilder, devil-may-care, toss-it-all-to-the-wind, free-form Funk-n-Roll sound.

Add to it all a personal label imprint, STARCASE RECORDING COMPANY, Ltd., and publishing name for all of Lawrence Wise's music, COSMIC FUNK MUSIC, Ltd.

And, primarily, it's ALL Lawrence Wise: All the Instruments and Vocals, as well as the songwriting, recording, producing and album packaging/artwork. A pure DIY-maniac from the "cassette tape home-recording era" of the 1980s, and proud of it.

Beginning in early-2006, Lawrence Wise and a friend he met over the internet on MySpace.com, Maurice Richmond (a.k.a. The FUNKASAURUS), ombined their back-catalog outputs and started to collaborate together, creating the cyber-band THE DAILY DOSE ofFUNK, which migrated from the former MySpace.com to SOUNDCLICK.com, SOUNDCLOUD.com, and FACEBOOK.com.

Although each band member collaborated with one another on a regular basis, each band member also kept an active solo project going. For the past 8 years, Lawrence Wise was a part of the original DAILY DOSE OF FUNK as OSMOSIS. During that time, Lawrence changed the OSMOSIS musical sound from the new-wave/funk style of the original Cosmic Funk Orchestra era (1981-1999) to the semi-HipHop funk of the original classic DDoF-era. Yet, after acquiring (and taking the time to learn)a Bass Guitar and Lead Guitar around 2010, Lawrence changed the overall musical sound of BOTH his projects to a more rough, raw and sparse guitar-and-bass sound, while still keeping the experimental/psychedelic sound of Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra....

....and the way-out, musically insane style of the OSMOSIS-side.

After 30+Years of Home Recording, Lawrence Wise is recording all of his recent/newest material in digital, while still converting the better part of 27 Years of back catalog from Stereo Cassette Masters to Digital Form. And, also thanks to Internet Radio, Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra and OSMOSIS songs are now receiving airplay. Long time coming. Hey, it Ain't Nothin' But The Funk, ya'll---

And, It's Good For Ya.

Thank You, and N-Joy.
