Frank Kruse is an interdisciplinary artist, independent researcher & founder of net label Cosmic Coffin. His home recordings are online under various monikers such as frankie death (90s home-taper) and FKFNGZ (20s electronica improv). Research projects include archiving the Australian literary underground of the 1940s and the convergence around poet & anti-philosopher Harry Hooton (1908- 1961). New York-based music blog Grandma Sophia’s Cookies describes Cosmic Coffin as a label/loose collective/distribution network for Frank and his DIY recording, rock and rolling gang of misfits. This 20-track playlist for The People’s Avant-Garde journeys through experimental electronica and underground scenes from around the globe. “I am especially passionate about music as a listener. Music is not merely the soundtrack to my life; it is a healing force that keeps me grounded to my environment and connected to my humanity.”
