MYSPACE DRAGON HOARD (LOST WORLDWW MUSIC)
Design of the poster for MYSPACE DRAGON HOARD (LOST WORLDWW MUSIC) exhibition by Daniel Moreno Roldán, presented in 2021 at La Capella Barcelona.
In March 2019, it was announced that all the music stored on the Myspace social network since before 2015 had been permanently deleted due to supposed professional negligence. Some 50 million songs produced by around 14 million artists were gone for ever. The Internet Archive – a library that preserves digital archives – managed to recover 450,000 of the lost songs
and compiled them into a vast archive called Myspace Dragon Hoard.
Myspace Dragon Hoard (Lost WorldWW Music) is a world music album that features tracks consisting of samples of recovered Myspace songs.
The album has been released in digital format and is hosted on a server that is currently located at CERN (Meyrin, Switzerland), the birthplace of the World Wide Web. It is a portable server that will migrate around the world to make the hosts the temporary keepers of the album. Please write to the following email address if you would also like to host the server: hola@danielmorenoroldan.com.

The words that appear on this poster are made up of fragments of the original Myspace song titles used for the album. The text works as a list of credits, the lyrics of a song, a tracklist and
a poem.
