Frank’s love for video games dates back to the days of the SEGA Dreamcast, playing games in the Street Fighter series. As a fan of the title, Frank paid homage in the bio of his short-lived Twitter account with the term “Yoga Flame,” which is a special attack used by the character Dhalsim in Street Fighter II.

Despite leaving Twitter in 2013, Frank has left his Tumblr mostly intact. Browsing the blog’s archive during its more active months, you’ll find that it is filled with pictures of Street Fighter, retro PlayStation logos, PAC-MAN, and Nintendo titles.

His interest for video games have gone far beyond the ephemeral nature of social media, however, bleeding into his music works as well. It started with his first project, a mixtape called nostalgia, ULTRA.

In 2012, Frank’s told the BBC that nostalgia, ULTRA was a “labor of love,” explaining:

“It was like difficult to make. Not like writing the songs [or] arranging the songs. That had a level of difficulty, too. But just piecing together all the levels to do it at the level, the quality of records I wanted to make... But, it was a process I appreciate so much."

Note how Frank likens the process of making the record to progressing through levels in a video game. Digging into the record itself, you’ll find how he stitches the project together using samples from classic video games as well as cassette player sounds to induce nostalgia. These sounds reflect a period of time in Frank’s life that was filled with discovery and wonder.
