Modular Profile: Dan Green (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This month’s guest is 4MS founder Dan Green, who started off his career creating guitar pedals while still at school. Fast‑forward 30 or so years and his company find themselves among the modular world’s most respected developers, with a host of celebrated modules in their catalogue, not least the recent MetaModule, Mesa and LEQA. In the 2000s we were making guitar pedals and doing a lot of custom work; we got a lot of requests for all‑in‑one boxes with multiple effects and patch points between.
Talkback: Boris (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Boris are among the most important Japanese rock bands of the last two and a half decades. Known for their mammoth guitar tones, explorative albums and staggering live shows, their records are entirely self‑produced. Band member Takeshi’s responses were translated by Greg Mudarri. Recently I haven’t really been listening to music. Of course, I do check out new artists and music from time to time, but I just don’t have the time to the extent where I can really get into something. We are so busy w
4MS Leveling EQ Amplifier (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you caught my feature in the September 2026 issue on integrating Eurorack into the wider studio environment, you might remember me mentioning the new LEQA from 4MS.

Comprising Nick Sanborn and Amelia Meath, quirky pop band Sylvan Esso have a new album Ow ∞ set for release on September 11th. Amelia Meath: I just got into this EP called Psycho by Tshegue. It’s so good. I just found it doing my daily dig through Bandcamp, looking for things to DJ. I’m generally working on a personal practice of trying to actually listen to new music! Because it’s so easy not to. And this EP... number one: it runs the gamut of so many different sounds. Like, there’s one track t
Modular Profile: Luke Sanger (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Been taking some time out of writing music to develop a new instrument/live performance system, which I debuted in Hiroshima earlier this month,” is how Luke Sanger updated me on his latest activity, which should tell you all you need to know about the kind of career the techno‑adjacent artist has enjoyed up to now. Sanger’s unique approach to electronic music has rightfully earned him plaudits across the globe, performing in venues from churches and art galleries to Berlin’s iconic Berghain cl
