Fifteen Questions is the world's first music magazine about music itself. By talking to some of the leading artists of our time about their perspectives, processes and approaches, we aim at building an extensive archive documenting one of music's most turbulent and exciting eras.

All of the interviews on Fifteen Questions are in the familiar questionnaire-format. And yet, over the course of ten years, they have significantly evolved and still continue to change. We're not interested in the private lives of artists or their latest releases. Instead, we involve production experts, performers, journalists, scientists and composers to discuss what music means, how it's made, where its limits lie, and why it affects us all so differently and yet remains universal.

Fifteen Questions had a book published by London's Strange Attractor Press in May 2015. You can buy it here.

Fifteen Questions has been featured as part of leading experimental music publication The Wire's Unofficial Channels column.
