"Northern Valentine // Live at Eastern State Penitentiary" was recorded during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, on September 5th, 2009.

In the surveillance hub located at the center of the penitentiary, we screened our film, "Leopard's Mouth". As soon as the movie began, we created a live score for the film, featuring all of the songs from our album of the same name. The songs explore a range of emotions experienced by the film's protagonist, who experiences everything from familiar comforts to unsettled chaos during his journey.

Many thanks to everyone who attended - and special thanks to Eastern State Penitentiary for the honor of being invited to perform in such a unique and historic space. This performance was the first of four live screenings of the film, and we are thrilled to be able to preserve and share this recording!
