Closes

A note from Richard

V2Melody will close at midnight on 20 January 2028

This site has been a retirement project in musical poetry: poems chosen with care and set to music, offered freely for as long as it felt right to keep the garden open.

The work no longer holds the place it once did in my life. I have gone as far with it as I wish to go. Like a sand mandala, it was made to be completed and then released. I am not attached to its permanence, and I do not believe any of it needs to last beyond the time it was given. The poems were already here before I arrived and began to experiment with them. They will still be here when these musical experiments, and indeed myself, have been swept away, like the sand of a mandala. Nothing has been lost.

I want a simpler end to my life, days of simple love and enjoyment with my wonderful wife of 20 years. The work of maintaining a server, the monitoring, and the residual obligations that come with keeping a site alive no longer fit that life.

From 4 November 2026 I will not be adding new poems or musical poems to the site.

Until midnight on 20 January 2028, Spanish time, everything remains available exactly as it is. That is when my VPS server contract comes to an end, and it will not be renewed. After that, the server will be switched off and the site will disappear.

The Mandala Is Finished explains this more fully.

Thank you to anyone who found a poem, a track, or a quiet moment here.

The pleasure was in the making.

Richard

Hammered Metal in Prehistoric Art

What happened

By 3000 BC, early civilizations in Europe and the Near East were utilizing hammered metal techniques to create gold and silver foils for decorative purposes. This innovation marked a significant advancement in metallurgy and artistic expression during prehistoric times. The use of hammered metal foils in artifacts highlights the early human capacity for creativity and craftsmanship.

Literary impact

The use of hammered metal in prehistoric art around 3000 BC laid the groundwork for metallic symbolism in mythological poetry. Early poets incorporated themes of strength and resilience, using metal as a metaphor for human experience, reflecting the enduring nature of human creativity and expression.
