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; like a storyteller in days of old. The band'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 vocal stylings. The music of this motley crew involves an elaborate world that is simultaneously familiar and strange. The Clockwork Dolls functions not only as a band, but as a group of writers and actors relaying the epic tales of heroism, tragedy, triumph, and adventure in a world filled with flights of fancy, airships, and the technology of both past and future. It is a story of heroes and villains, and of lovers and adventurers. In short, it is the story of people who fly.
