The Doctors Apprentice - The Clockwork Quartet.

For almost a decade I’ve been aware of steampunk. I first saw it in a video game (Final Fantasy IX) and its been in the back of my mind as something I knew I could really get involved with - subconsciously it started coming out in my writings. Last year before San Diego Comic Con I had been spending time researching cosplay costumes and I gave thought to putting together a steampunk outfit but I couldn’t pull it together in time.

Last week a twitter friend posted a link of a band he was listening too and while the band, The Clockwork Quartet, has a catalog of songs youtube has only two of their pieces. I’d love to hear the rest of their repertoire but out of the two I enjoyed The Doctors Apprentice - it’s a beautiful story sung with all the appropriate mechanical taps, chirps, mournful sighs across the strings of a violin and fervor of someone trying to save a life.
