The Valerie Project is a collaboration of Philadelphia musicians (Espers, Fern Knights, Grass) reinventing the score of the classic 1970 Czech New Wave film Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, to pay tribute to this seminal film of the new folk movement.

"The Project Series started with a simple concept; that of recontextualising the filmic meaning and impact of a particular work through the substitution of a newly composed soundtrack. The new soundtrack is meant to be performed live to a sound film, with the original soundtrack turned off or the original music removed. This element is unique in that most live film soundtracks are perfromed to silent era films."

Being fronted by Greg Weeks of Espers, any fan of free folk/Avant Garde, will enjoy this project. Highly recommended!
