1)Bookmobile is a laptop duo comprised of Ben Torrance (also known as Splinters) and Victor Couto. The goal of Bookmobile is to explore various realms of electronic music while constantly trying to keep in the mix their tendencies for minimal, pop, experimental, and sound design. The duo began playing music together in early 2001, along with Choncey Langford, in Recidivist, a trio that performed completely improvised post-rock primarily using guitars, bass, and drums, as well as an occasional sampler, keyboard or effects device. Their studio activities began to shift their attention more and more toward the potential of the computer as a musical tool and instrument, which led to Lamplighter, their electronic alter-ego. Lamplighter began performing shows with computers (even pre-laptops) in late 2001, and shared the stage with a number of noteworthy artists including The Chicago Underground Duo, David Grubbs, Hrvatski, Greg Davis, and Damo Suzuki. Lamplighter released one album and a pair of compilation appearances before disbanding in 2003. After Lamplighter Ben and Victor continued on as Bookmobile: releasing their debut album Keys in 2004, touring the west coast in 2005 and 2007, releasing Boopanschwing as a split with Seattle artist Zapan in 2007, and having a couple of complilation tracks to their name. The duo are now operating bi-coastal, with Victor residing in Chicago, and Ben remaining in Seattle. They are presently working on their second full-length. Ben also stays busy running the Woodson Lateral label, doing solo work as Splinters, and plays in an indie rock band, Lunch Buddy Program.
