"Some Thangs Are STRANGE...And Then, Some Thangs ARE..N-B!!" (Or: "Why Does 'LAWRENCE WISE', 'LAWRENCE WISE AND THE COSMIC FUNK ORCHESTRA', and 'OSMOSIS'[*] Have Similar Bios?") BECAUSE, that describes Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra / OSMOSIS-- ...a dual one-man studio project of Washington, DC native Lawrence Wise, a DIY-maniac from the "cassette tape home-recording era" of the 1980s, on his personal label imprint, STARCASE RECORDING COMPANY, Ltd. Originating in 1981, Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra is a hyper-psychedelic/futuristic-progressive thang that's primarily ALL Lawrence Wise--the Instruments, Vocals, Songwriting, Recording, Producing and Album Packaging/Artwork. 8 years later in 1989 came OSMOSIS (*)--the wilder, devil-may-care, toss-it-all-to-the-wind, free-form Funk-n-Roll (and proud of it!) spin-off. (* The name "OSMOSIS" Is Not To Be Confused With the Latin Jazz-Fusion Band of the 1970s with the Same Name. Thank you.) While recording recent material in digital, Lawrence Wise is also converting 40+Years of Stereo Cassette Masters Back Catalog to digital. Also, Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra and OSMOSIS songs are receiving airplay thanks to Internet Radio. Long time coming. Hey, it Ain't Nothin' But The Funk, ya'll--- And, It's Good For Ya. Thank You, and N-Joy. -Lawrence Wise (a.k.a. OSMOSIS)
