"Apocalypse was in the air; an impending feeling of doom. The multi-colored
dreams of psychedelia had begun to fade and for those of us who had crossed
its rainbow bridge there would be no turning back. The world as we had known
it would never quite seem the same again. The prevailing order of things -
these and a panoply of similar assumptions formerly taken for granted with
simple minded acceptance - now came into question, were scrutinized,
dissected and exposed for the frauds we felt them to be. But what were these
mainstays of our civilization to be replaced with?"-Robert N. Taylor

GERM is absolutely, positively, unspeakably proud to be hosting this art
show of international historical significance. From the coffee shops of
the Process Church to their virtual creation of the apocalyptic folk genre,
Robert N. Taylor and his cousin Nicholas Tesluk have always infused the
music of Changes with an uncompromising world view that translates readily
into their largely heretofore unseen catalog of work in the visual media:
it's a psychonaut's guide to the end of the world. with a new world just
around the corner.

Like a lot of folk duos with long hair, Changes formed in 1969. But peace
and love-or at least the childish hippie understandings of these
concepts-weren't really their vibe. Thus, outside of live performances,
their music remained largely unheard until rescued from obscurity by that
great cultural historian Michael Moynihan, whose record label Storm
co-released the CD Fire of Life with Willi Stasch's Cthulhu Records in 1996.
In the intervening years, they've quite actively released other CD's and
vinyl records, while performing around the world and indulging their
not-so-public devotions to painting.
