"Sarah Terral is Clément Vercelletto's double in a solo musical project based almost entirely on modular synthesizers. Le Morfil, her second album after Le Ménisque original (2021), is released on K7, vinyl and digital formats, and is based on short, haiku-like pieces. The musical mosaic is particularly rich and seductive. 

This album is "90% based on modular synthesizers" (mainly Mannequin modules and a Serge 4U), says the artist, who seems to like talking in percentages. So, when he talks about his live persona, Sarah Terral, dressed in a black dress with rhinestones and adorned with a blue wolf with make-up on its face, or a moon of some kind, he describes "10% cross-dressing", a figure "easy to put together", a feminine self: Terral is in fact his mother's name, and Sarah is the name he would have received from her if he'd been born a girl. For him, the sight of "this slightly strange silhouette, this enigmatic figure" allows the listener to "change what they're listening to". To define his artistic personality, I would add that Clément Vercelletto is also a stage director, that he was a free party DJ in the early 2000s and that he frequents noise music circles.

[...] Initially astonished by the daring choice of term for such an uncompromising record, and at the same time admiring the ever-shifting, even slightly alienated, reading grids employed by those involved in noise, I can't help but agree at the end of this beautiful listening experience, as I let myself be lulled by these last sounds imbued with a gentle melancholy. What a journey!" - Guillaume Kosmicki
