The planet Melodia is
situated in the Euterpia Galaxy; it is also called the Pink Planet , because it is shrouded in a nebula of
pink-coloured gas. Melodia has the
shape of a gramophone record.
The planet has a lovely
climate: it is warm and humid year round without any real seasons, and it
only rains at night. The planet has
a lush vegetation and is sparsely inhabited by several species of animals
and other creatures.
The Melodian society is
probably the most perfect one of the entire Universe : it is free of
religion, politics, economy, science, technology, culture and
education. It is also free of war,
violence, perversion, hate, envy, greed, deceit or jealousy. Each Melodian creature instinctively
knows how to live in harmony with nature and with the other inhabitants of
the planet. Moreover, Melodians love
social contact; they communicate with each other by means of a common
language of songs.
Melodians do not kill or
hurt each other to feed: they mainly feed on vegetable waste and floral
products. Melodians do not kill or
hurt each other to defend a territory: they all share the planet living
life in peace. Melodians do not kill
or hurt each other to mate: they all have plenty of opportunities to
mate. Because they mate frequently,
a lot of the Melodian males constantly stand by with an erect penis. In the early 1990's Ribley
was contacted
by the Melodians through 'cosmo-telepathic
pulses ', and decided to depict these creatures by means of assemblage
sculptures. Furthermore, Ribley has written an
encyclopedic catalogue about their physiological characteristics and
typical behaviour, called Melodia ,
an Earthly Observation .
So let us now meet some of
the Melodians... Some creatures can be clicked for an enlarged view with some comment from
the encyclopedic catalogue. If you would be interested in purchasing the
complete encyclopedic catalogue with full description of all the creatures,

Also, some of the exhibited sculptures in this collection can still
be purchased. For more details, also
