Summer Breeze

Le Ménisque Original
"Le ménisque original is my first solo album under the Sarah Terral moniker. The album was composed and played with a very small modular synthesizer. I wanted to make a very intuitive and minimal record with the idea of doing as little editing and retouching as possible. Synthetic, minimal, restricted, contrasted and intuitive music.
