Beartrap Mind is a Bay Area based duo consisting of
musician/composers Adam Landfair and Andrew Ferren.
They met in New York City in 2001 and soon became
friends, realizing their common interest in esoteric
philosophy, jazz, conspiracy theories, funk, and
electronic music. Soon after their meeting, the two
musicians began working with computers and analog
electronics to augment, inspire, create, and
deconstruct their music. Within months both were
performing their unique brands of improvised
electro-acoustic music throughout New York. Meeting
again on the west coast in 2006, the two musicians
began working on Beartrap Mind, melding modern
improvisation with electronic wizardry. Their
influences are vast and on any given day could range
from bird calls to Franz Bardon, J.Dilla to W.S.
Burroughs, and Bismilan Khan to Hazrat Inayat Khan


Yumi Hara Cawkwell studied medicine in Japan and
practised as a psychiatrist for eight years before
moving to the UK in 1993. In 1999, she graduated in
music from City University in London with a
first-class honours degree, and has completed her PhD
in composition at City University under Rhian Samuel
in 2005. She has received a number of awards including
a prize in the Continuum Ensemble Improvisation
Competition, Sculpted Sound competition and the
British Medical Council’s Laboratory of Molecular
Biology Fanfare Competition to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the discovery of the molecular
structure of DNA. She has been nominated as a finalist
for the British Composer Awards 2006 in solo and duo
category. Her music has been performed by, among
others, PianoCircus, Ensemble Bash, OKEANOS, Jane
Chapman, Kate Ryder, Michael Bonaventure and Trio
Japan in concerts and festivals in the UK and Japan.
She has led voice improvisation workshops for the
Yokohama Boys and Girls Chorus at the ISCM World Music
Days in 2001. She regularly gives improvised
performances as a solo vocalist (with electronics), is
active as a DJ, and since 1996, has been a member of
the performance-art girlband Frank Chickens. She also
performs with Lemon Squeezer and Farmyard Animals. She
is Lecturer in Music at University of East London.
