our good friend daedelus

while it’s been our inclination not to exploit the prominence of many of our users and supporters, it’d be a shame not to feature this interview. daedelus (we know him more as alfred) and i met long before either of our ambitions materialized—and now our independent successes are in many ways intertwined. he is undoubtedly one of the most virtuosic performers of our devices and we are very proud of him.

ps. more two fifty six invoices went out today.

an interview

christophe stoll did a thoughtful interview with us some time ago for de:bug magazine. he’s posted both the german and english versions:

our best protection is our openness

new edition this friday

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 19:30:30 GMT

this friday august 1st we will be sending out invoices to those who are within the first 100 positions on the request list for the two fifty six. invoices will expire at noon on august 3rd where after we will cancel the order and invoice the next person in line. all invoices sent after the 3rd of august will expire within 48 hours. if you have a problem and cannot complete the transaction within this time frame, please contact us before thursday july 31st with your situation.

we are no longer adding people to the request list. please don’t ask us for an exception. in the event that we finish the list and still have devices remaining, we will announce open orders with further instructions.

we expect to start shipping devices immediately, though it will take us up to three weeks to finish assembling and shipping every order. we ship in the order that payments are received.

many thanks.

polygomé, yet another extraordinary application from stretta which is also open-source and available for download. there’s a great performance at the end of the demo.

we’re very impressed with the incredible contributions recently—thank you all for both your visionary work and sharing spirit.

moving quickly through the waiting lists

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:33:46 GMT

this week we’re receiving the last components for our new edition of 40 kits. we’ll be sending invoices out as fast as we can—if you’re on the waiting list, watch your inbox. you have 48 hours to respond. if you miss this window your order opportunity will be passed to someone else waiting in line.

also, we have about 10 one twenty eights that will soon be ready to ship as the last of the top-plates from the recent edition are expected to arrive any day now. we’ll be sending out invoices to that list as well.

a reminder for those on the two fifty six waiting list, 100 invoices will be sent out on August 1st. there will be a 48 hour payment window. we’ll move through the list as fast as we can until all devices from the release are spoken for.

future return

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 20:17:28 GMT

we are no longer taking order reservations. we will honor all previously placed requests and they will be processed as new editions come out. once we have gone through our current waiting list we will return to our previous order system. new editions will be offered once again at a very specific date and time, with the payment link remaining available the edition is sold out.

we’ll keep you posted. thanks as always for your continual support.
