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.

I think you're probably right. Your second suggestion is such a novel idea I think you nearly have me conviced that is the better way to go. It has been a pleasure making your aquaintence.
That's delightful! Do I win a prize, like a free one way ticket on a time machine and a once in a lifetime, unique opportunity to purchase a timeshare in an authentic turn of the century London brothel? J/k Thanks for the add, I like your style.
Your photographic images are exquisite. Well done! It's pleasant to see that Cedric has come out of the shadows to take a more active role in your continuing narrative.
