The Back of Your Hand

instrumentation: electronic
duration: 20 seconds

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, there were a lot of discussions (and a lot of memes) — about how to wash your hands effectively. Isaac Schankler asked people to send in twenty-second handwashing jingles, and my contribution was "The Back of Your Hand." Like tiny bun and tiny kitten — also written during a time of crisis — it features the voice of MIDI Myers. The compilation is really quite something, including contributions from artists as varied as Adam Cuthbért, Jay Derderian, Ivy Fae, Devin Clara Fanslow, Olivia Kieffer, brin solomon, Sharon Su, Chrysanthe Tan, Hew Wagner and carrie z — among many others.
