about

The transtheoretical model is a theory of behavioral psychology that describes the six stages or adapting to change. This is much like the stages of grief, but rather addresses how one adapts to a change in their life. In addition to the scientific connection, the piece as a whole focuses on the struggle between optimistic drive and nagging pessimism, how anxiety introduces noise and barriers to goals and motivation, and the difference between planned and unplanned change.

Each of the six movements attempts to musically describe the six elements of this process of change. The composition is based on 52 responses from a survey sent at the beginning of the project (February 2021) to amass the adjectives you see below, research done on the topic, and my own thoughts and conclusions.
