Before the release of his groundbreaking album “Just More,” Nizar13, the visionary artist behind Trutt, was always driven to explore new artistic frontiers and push the boundaries of creativity. He had a grand vision of presenting the essence of “Just More” in a multitude of artistic forms, captivating audiences with his multidisciplinary approach.

One of the most notable endeavors was the creation of the FRAGILE edition of the “Just More” album records. Inspired by the absence of vinyl pressing plants in Tunisia and the exorbitant costs of pressing records in other countries, Nizar13 embarked on a mission to find an innovative solution. What followed was a journey filled with experimentation, challenges, and a commitment to maintaining the highest sound quality and craftsmanship.

Undeterred by the initial setbacks and failures, Nizar13 tirelessly experimented with different techniques, honing his skills in the art of handmade record production. With each iteration, he refined the process, ensuring that the sound quality remained pristine and that the essence of the album was captured flawlessly. In addition to the meticulous record production, Nizar13 faced another significant challenge – creating the handmade covers for each record. Determined to maintain the utmost quality and craftsmanship, he sought out the finest materials and employed his artistic expertise to craft unique covers with a unique artwork.

Using cardboard and painted cloth, he meticulously brought the album’s concept to life, adorning each cover with vibrant acrylics that perfectly captured the spirit of “Just More.”

“I want to explore and create arround the music, while staying connected to music, i wanna be able to combine Music and Design.”
