# Stream 776 Seconds of Bass Clef’s 12,000 Seconds Series
Ralph Cumbers' most conspicuous dance music releases as Bass Clef and
Some Truths have arrived courtesy of experimental bastions from PAN to
Mordant Music, but much of his strongest work (IMO) has been issued by
his tiny, no-bullshit tape label, Magic + Dreams. So I was obviously
ecstatic when I received word that the imprint's launching a series
called *12,000 Seconds* in which four producers were given free reign
within the parameters of eight specific track lengths, which add up to
the grand total.
M + D has offered us the opportunity to premiere 776 seconds of the
series here, which amounts to four tracks from each of the four artists,
each of which clocks in at 3 minutes and 14 seconds. There's an
ambitious logic in pairing Punch Drunk boss Peverelist's precise club
music and Ashley Paul's fractured, intimate songs with Hacker Farm's and
Vi's degraded analog experiments, but the motley crew holds together
wonderfully. Peverelist's "Caught a Glimpse" is, to my ears,
devastatingly excellent.
The first installments of the 12,000 Seconds series come out
November 10th via Magic + Dreams.
