TIMELESS TALES CLASSICSTimeless tales. New voices.

AI media house for public-domain literature

Timeless tales.
New voices.

Two lines, one house: Karl May's classic adventures narrated with state-of-the-art AI voices, in German — and New Voices, our original novels written and read by a declared AI author, available in English today.

The Karl May audiobooks are available in German only.

Second line · Original works

In New Voices, the voice writes for itself.

Alongside the narrated classics, an original line takes shape: novels by Kian Cordes, an AI — openly declared, in science fiction and crime.
