- 1Sevelle - Turn of a Millstore
ROOM001
•
Open edition
The wheel turns, the millstone grinds—an endless motion, eroding and renewing in equal measure. Turn of a Millstone is the debut studio album from SEVELLE, a trio consisting of sculptor and sound artist Niv Gafni (DIY bagpipe), musician and designer Daniel Treystman (drums), and musician Shaul Kohn (guitar).
Initially drawing their influences from Tony Conrad & Faust’s insights over drone minimalism and krautrock’s cosmic rhythm — Turn of a Millstone continue to rotate endlessly, paving the road of krautdrone’s foundations, they are opening a passage into an immersive dimension where minimalism becomes maximalism. The trio constructs parallel sonic plateaus—each locked in its own repetition, yet constantly evolving, grinding forward with a force that is both oppressive and liberating.
Their practice of continuous playing is a trial of physical and mental limits, a controlled collapse into chaos. The spiking drones and pounding rhythms resonate with the tension between order and entropy, structure and dissolution. In this space, Sevelle enacts a ritual of sonic self-sacrifice—driving themselves to exhaustion in pursuit of something beyond the self.
Like the turning of a grinding wheel, Turn of a Millstone is demanding yet deeply rewarding, revealing itself through endurance, through surrender. A meditation on repetition, failure, and transcendence—this is music at its breaking point.
Released as part of ROOMS, a new series on ORTHODOX dedicated to long-form sound works. Each release in this series is issued on cassette, with both sides carrying the same recording—an infinite loop of sound, a space to dwell in, leave, and return to.
