** Yellow Vinyl **One of the most haunting Morricone soundtracks ever -- and one of the grooviest too!

The main "Verushka" theme is one of his most beautiful -- a variation of female vocals with a gentle ed…

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.

Terral is my mother’s last name and Sarah is the name I would have had if I had been a girl. It is in a way my feminine alter-ego. I wanted it to be almost me, but…
