13 tracks. 13 writers and 13 artists.

  
We’ve invited 13 writers and 13 visual artists or designers to respond to each of the 13 tracks of one of the 13tracks playlists, and these works have been brought together in Issue 1 of the 13tracks magazine. 

  
The magazine is a physical-only product, available from the 13tracks website and selected retailers.

  
In terms of the content, the writing and the art isn’t about the music directly - the contributions are poems, short stories, essays, photographs, paintings, collages, sculpture, anything inspired by the track in the context of the playlist. 

  
What emotions, ideas, or images does the track evoke? Where does the music take the writers and artists? Where does it take you?

  
This is about how art inspires other art. The visuals and the writing are developed separately but presented alongside each other in the magazine, creating a multi-faceted relationship between the sound, word, and image throughout the playlist.

  
The playlist for 13tracks Issue 2 has been confirmed, and is set out on the 13tracks website.

We create a high-quality print-only magazine of the chosen contributions and sell it directly to customers and via select retail outlets.

  
We run the magazine as a profit-share between all of the published contributors - after break-even on each issue, we split any profits from the first twelve months equally between contributors.
