Amy X Neuburg Neuburg and Dresher commissioned 10 composers to create
songs inspired by Diane Arbus's Guggenheim grant application, American
Rites, Manners and Customs. Arbus proposed to photograph everyday
people, places, and routines, which to generations of the future "will
have been so beautiful." Each composer found or created a photograph
or series of images, ranging from intimate self portraits to stark
landscapes, that spoke to him or her in this regard, and used the
images as inspiration for the music.
