hollAnd

HollAnd was perhaps the most notable alias of electronic pop singer/composer Trevor Kampmann, a former teen actor who made guest appearances on television programs including Little House on the Prairie, Who's the Boss?, and Charles in Charge. After flirting with a career as a professional skateboarder, Kampmann drifted across the country before settling in Washington, D.C. and landing work as a computer graphics designer. Upon recording his first batch of songs, he adopted the name See Saw to release his lo-fi 1995 debut, ...And Its Head Popped Off, on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Simple+Machines%22">Simple Machines</a> label. Following the release of 1996's Magnetophone, credited to See Saw, Kampmann announced that future releases would appear under the <a href="spotify:artist:4vNdHrQaKeViAe0ehsrLaA">Magnetophone</a> aegis, although he instead recorded primarily as hollAnd. Debuting in 1997 with Your Orgasm, the following year hollAnd issued the limited-edition Soundtrack for Synthetic Voices; Commercial, a collaboration with the members of <a href="spotify:artist:1n6Ugu5eELXQmuPrHrvgrb">Flowchart</a>, as well as productions for <a href="spotify:artist:4twF3ELHVQn0u8HzbTDiBt">the Rondelles</a> (The Fox) and <a href="spotify:artist:0I5MgqWJBtQTff4sZUC6O9">Aden</a> (Black Cow) preceded the early-2000 release of the EP Neoprene: So Tight. The Drums EP followed in early 2001, along with the launch of Kampmann’s own record label, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22pulCec%22">pulCec</a>. HollAnd was put on the back burner for the majority of the next decade as Kampmann worked extensively in the studio, engineering and mastering records, including albums by <a href="spotify:artist:6G7OerKc3eBO9sVkRNopFC">Cat Power</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0t2raBrlqL6QjBNYGPhpw8">Barcelona</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1uQWmt1OhuHGRKmZ2ZcL6p">Explosions in the Sky</a>. In 2010, <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Teen+Beat%22">Teen Beat</a> released a two-song single from hollAnd titled I Blow Up. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
