What is?Discover our concept
01 +Bringing a piece of music to life
It’s drawing up an album’s cover
and composing a lyric book
It’s creating a daring box set
as much as it is about designing a poster or an art print
Music and picture are indivisible
With the resurgence of vinyl records, music too becomes tangible
An item we can collect
An item we could care for
In a post music TV channel era
Of nonstop music videos
and mainstream music
Of renowned artists
and famous singers
Now comes a time for songwriters
For handwritten tracks
and rare experiences
For unique musical pieces
and homemade compositions
Here comes a time to share and converse
A time of collaboration between musicians and graphic designers
A time to share for all the art enthusiasts and song lovers out there
Because music is the beat and tempo
Because music is life’s beating pulse
ILNU is the social network of the musical likes and a helping hand to graphic artists
ILNU is THE crowdfunding platform
A place where music bands, independent labels, and audiences meet up
The bond between musical projects and all picture-related artists – photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers
All audiences, ranging from music lovers, to music enthusiasts, and musicians’ followers, will now be able to directly promote bands and songwriters of their choosing and help them access resources and reach talented graphic designers. Because for music to live, and for artists to
thrive, we all need passion, commitment, and support as much as we need participatory funding.
In getting involved with ILNU, any financial contribution you make can be life-changing for the artists we support.
Thanks for caring ! And thanks for sharing !
... And discoverNew Musical Artists!

06 +Bob Nastanovich [Pavement / Silver Jews]
Bob is our first « Godfather » for ILNU:
What pride!
I, who have been sailing since my young adolescence in the tumultuous waters of Rock, how not to have been totally submerged by the talented wave of Pavement?
Over the years, I have never stopped loving handling their album covers with their distinctive graphics, extracting their vinyls, sources of wonderful inspirations, as a great purist that I am.
A ritual that only carry out during these magical encounters.
Bob is a generous man, I would even say altruistic, in what he is, and in everything he does:
He drums, he cries out, he jumps: His sparkling, open-hearted energy clearly brings the soul of the band to life on stage.
Bob is a Talent developer.
Passionate about horse racing, he runs on the circuits of the world and also joins ours, soon yours, ILNU, at the speed of 33 rpm!
I adore him, and I can’t thank him enough:
I will give him a hug for life!
Charlotte
Robert “Bob” Nastanovich joined Pavement in the spring of 1991, shortly before the release of the cult Slanted and Enchanted, the band’s first album.
Recruited initially to assist the pranks of the first drummer, Gary Young, his affable character and his jack-of-all-trades (vocals, drums, keyboards, percussion, harmonica) quickly transform his status as interim as a member essential to the group’s balance.
At the same time, Bob is one of the three founding members, along with Stephen Malkmus and the late David Berman, of Silver Jews whose debut album, the precious Starlite Walker, was released in 1994.
