Archaic Reckoner (Sumanth Srinivasan + Matthew Kaney)

Archaic Reckoner is Sumanth Srinivasan and Matthew Kaney. Sumanth’s
solo computer-songwriter project, Reckoner, has released a full length album and
several EPs. Drawing from krautrock, trip hop and glitch, his music is a fusion of
live sampling, guitar, live coded rhythms and melodic vocals. Matthew builds tools
for live coding, performing music and visuals as archaic.tech. Together and
independently, they’ve performed a series of shows in both New York and western
Europe.

PRESWERVE

PRESWERVE is an experimental-electronic producer, writer (poet/journalist), and digital media creator. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, she is now based in Brooklyn, NY. PRESWERVE blends influences from trap, shoegaze, ambient, and noise. She also solely runs an independent media company Let’s Not Pretend, which focuses on experimental sounds, visuals, and art. Her company seeks to find communities and learn about culture by engaging in conversations and shows. More equipped in FL, she wants to challenge her musical abilities by trying new formats – such as coding. As a coding beginner, she is excited to immerse herself in something new. Not only an educator, PRESWERVE is also familiar with a variety of disciplines, as she is completely self-taught in all of her art and music. She has created album artwork, music videos, digital and physical collages, and loves to write. Her poetry has been published in her college magazine and Beast Grrrl zine. In the past, she has attended EMP collective’s poetry workshops and performed at multiple poetry readings/writings. Only having the chance to perform at small Baltimore open mics and poetry readings, PRESWERVE is ready to begin new journeys into live-coding and performing music for others.
