Sea Saw is the work of one obsessed songwriter, Trevor Kampmann. Although his songs are always insidiously catchy with seemingly effortless hooks, each one is a labor of love. Songs are recorded and re-recorded and mixed and re-mixed under his unflinching, ever-critical eye. Covering the erase heads with tape, bouncing up to 17 tracks at a time, and using visual scoring techniques, Trevor stands as the antithesis of the all-pervasive misinformed theory that... 4-track equals lo-fi. Hello! Most of the Beatles hits were recorded on a 4-track...

On MAGNETOPHONE you hear a year's worth - hundreds - of sound experiments... fed first through Trevor's fine ear for pop and then through the diverse mixing styles of five delicious engineers: Geoff Turner, Evan Shurak, Robert Salsbury, Dave Trumfio and Warren DeFever (His Name is Alive). Previously recorded items like the stellar (nad now out of print)..AND ITS HEAD POPPED OFF and the STEREO 7" also show Trevor's fondness for homemade recording - using, at times, boxes and blanket-covered buckets for drums.
