This is a great interview, so much information in 30 mins. I love Mark's modules, and their service is awesome, you know he's been doing it for a while!
I'm not a modular user (yet), but I've always been impressed by Verbos' design ethos. If anything ever makes me commit to building a modular rig it will be Verbos' unique sounds.
I have no idea cause i don't have the ability to get into modular atm, but what might be some key differences between a 5v and 10v EG? as discussed in possible standardising of eurorack..
One of the first Live PA's I've ever seen .. big inspiration!! Check out this flyer for a very young Mark! raveflyers.net/images/1997-BEYOND_THE_EMERALD_CITY-FRONT.jpg

Synthesizers were cheap to buy in the 90's, but recording gear was super expensive. If you wanted to record an album you had to take out a 2nd mortgage on your house.
When you use a wide angle lens up close, it exaggerates features. So foreground objects appear huge and background objects tiny. Donald Trump should buy a GoPro for his tiny hands.
