Listen to the voice of the mineral lines drawn from eternal sleep. Hidden in each standing stone, we are the immortal she-guardians of space and time. At the dawn of mankind, the wise men you call Druids knew how to talk to stones and twang the magic spark which was asleep within each of them.
In exchange, we used to spread our invisible beams around the Earth. From Aswan to Carnac, from Stonhenge to the Valley of the Kings. Our network could abolish time and those who could tame us could travel in the past as easily as one crosses the threshold of an inn. Mankind then lived a golden age, of peace and tolerance.

Alas, evil or unconscious men put an end to the travelling era through the violation of our ancestral rules. During their time travels, some of them chased their enemies’ ancestors to eliminate them. Others seduced ladies of old and gave birth to impossible descendants. We could not tolerate such paradoxes. Our legions of infernal creatures descended to earth to restore the natural order. Mankind then experienced a dark age, haunted by fear, disease and madness.

For this nightmare to cease, the disciples of the druids swore to keep silent and forget the song of the lines of stones. At the end of the era you call the 20th century, Terracotta succeeded in extracting the fossil sounds imprisoned in the heart of the matter. This alchemist of sounds immediately developed an interest for the Armoric Menhirs. Thanks to the technological tools your absurd world had created, he exhumed a sacred stone, the echo of the prayer had sent us to travel through space and time… with his confidant, Marc de Ponkallec, he started to visit the past, searching for forgotten harmonies and lost instruments…

In remote epochs, they met long-gone musicians with whom they tied anachronistic friendships: Kervador, the knight of the Winged Whale, and Lachilaout, the Bard of the Bigouden land, soon joined the travelling band. We are once again spinning our invisible web through space and time to let our stowaway passengers advance through the night, the “Stone Age Chronotravellers“.
