Apologies to those of you who ran into a hideous "Bandwidth Exceeded" screen when trying to visit Reaktions.com during the last 24 hours. Turns out the site exceeded its allotted 40 gb / month bandwidth barely a week into June! I upgraded to an 80 gb / month account, so all should be well. If file-download traffic continues at this level, I'll have to consider another bandwidth solution. If you have any ideas, email me.

financially and/or otherwise. Reaktions.com wouldn't exist without you.

3/1/2004
Reaktions.com is conceived by several members of the Reaktor community
and enters a long(ish) gestation period, in which it evolves from an abstract
idea (a CD compilation of Reaktor-made pieces) to a concrete reality (an
online repository of Reaktor-centric pieces).
