One of the earliest Apocalyptic Folk, or Neo-Folk, projects, Changes was formed in 1969 by Robert N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk.

The project took a break in 1973, came back together in 1974, and then seemed to cease in 1977.

In the mid-1990s Changes was re-discovered by Storm and Cthulhu Records. These labels re-released a collection of old material (as Fire of Life), and at the same time the project re-formed. Since then Changes has released numerous new recordings (of both old and new songs) and performed worldwide.
