The Clockwork Dolls began in 2007 with a simple concept: to create music that serves not only as a source for recreation but as a means of narration, a storyteller much like the days of old. The trio's strength rests in their unique combination of skills. Their music combines Allison Curval's knack for the fusing of traditional classical music with the epic sounds of contemporary musical scores and modern electronica with Helene De Fer's passion for poetic lyrics and Cedric Mayne's immersive musical style on the violin.
The music of The Clockwork Dolls involves an elaborate world that is simultaniously familiar and strange. It is one that is filled with flights of fancy, airships, and the technology of both past and future. With songs like Maiden Voyage telling the tale of a noble woman's dream of freedom and flight to the Ballad of Black Jack Jezebel, a story of a vengeful gambler set in the wild west, The Clockwork Dolls functions not only as a band but as a group of writers and actors telling a story of adventure, bravery, tragedy, and drama all mixed in with the occasional ho down.

Greetings, my friends I must thank you for sharing your album with many of us. i had the opportunity to listen to it this morning and i absolutely love it! you are truly masters of your craft
The album is absolutely amazing, I love every track, outstanding. And thank you so very much for the gift, from the bottom of my clockwork heart. Hopefully, I'll be able to find a way to return the kindness which you've shown me.
I remember, a long time ago, that I promised some fan art for you guys. Well, I suck at drawing! So, instead, I'll do a photograph. I pretty much got the idea down for what I want to do. I should be getting a camera soon as well. Hmm....all I need really is clothing for the shoot. I'll see what I can do.
"ships outman us 1 to 3, our choices now will set you free"
every lyric is just so beautiful
please make a video for this song. I work with some great film guys in Miami if you're interested. I can pass their contacts along. Either way, I can just SEE it.
Madame I dont believe any whipping will be necessary to allow us to perform at Steamcon next year. Also I am not worried about the band meeting you in person. Im sure we will have a grand time having tea and chatting about our adventures.
I'll have videos and pictures up soon. I recorded practically the whole thing of Abney Park except for the parts were my feet went numb and I had to sit on the floor for a song. I should wear more comfy shoes next time.
I will so be recording the whole thing of you guys when you guys go. And you better. >:[
