February Update
January saw the completion of the website in it's initial form and now features a full gallery section featuring examples of Mango's paintings and sculptures as well as a basic shop template with several examples of merchandise for sale.
Meanwhile, Mango has been working hard to make the first official Clockwork Orchestra release available as soon as possible.

40 Second Snippets
The official release of Clockwork Orchestra's first song "Tragic Roundabout" has been delayed by the ongoing work on the final mix of the track and in particular, on the animated music video for the aforementioned song which the group now hope to release in early March in conjunction with the video.
Until then, it is now possible to listen to several 40 second long extracts from various Clockwork Orchestra demos to give you an idea of what is to come in the following year. This can be done by clicking on any of the six segments of the clockwork violin on the website's homepage here.
Edit - the 40 second snippet audio clips are no longer available due to the release of full length versions of the songs.

Where's The Beef?
Several months have passed since the originally scheduled release of Clockwork Orchestra's debut single "Tragic Roundabout" but I can now confirm that the song will be available in the very near future.
The song in it's instrumental form has been virtually complete for some time but due to poor health and obsessive compulsive tinkering with the track, I have been unable to produce a final mix with vocals that I am happy with so far.

Clockwork Orchestra On Blogspot
As of today, Clockwork Orchestra can now be found on Blogspot here. The purpose of this blog is to provide an outlet for opinions or topics which do not relate directly to the band itself.
It is also hoped that interviews with musicians and other characters of interest will be posted on the blog in the future when time allows.
Clockwork Orchestra's first entry on Blogspot is titled "The Trouble With Music Genres" and is a straight forward criticism of the over-categorization of music in the present day.
