BuwanBuwan Collective is asking for your 20-second handwashing beats | Lifestyle.INQ

LEGEND of the Big Band Era

By now, we’ve all gone past the Centers for Disease Control-recommended “Happy Birthday” for our handwashing routine. Since it’s a little weird to belt it out by yourself, citizens of the internet have taken it upon themselves to sing 20-second snippets of their favorite songs. But local artist group BuwanBuwan Collective is offering an alternative—why not some handwashing beats?

Dubbed “Bakunawa: Quarantine Edition,” the collective is calling on beatmakers to add some flair to people’s handwashing regimen. BuwanBuwan is on the lookout for 20-second beats that fit these qualifications:

    1. Beats per minute (BPM) must be 48/96/192.
    2. Beat must be exactly 20 seconds long (no more, no less).
    3. No genre specifications or required samples.

Got some of those beats up your sleeve? You can mail them over at [email protected]. Participants can send a max of three submissions with the file name “ArtistName_Title_SubmissionNo.” The deadline is on Mar. 25, so if you’re in isolation, consider your next week busy.
