Marta Salogni: "Seeing a mixing desk for the first time lit up something inside of me - it's the meeting point of music, art, science and engineering"

Marta salogni.

Arriving in London from her native Brescia, Italy, Grammy-nominated recording engineer Marta Salogni has emerged as one of the most sought-after mix engineers in the industry, having engineered, mixed and produced for artists including Björk, Depeche Mode, M.I.A., Animal Collective, Frank Ocean and FKA Twigs. Working from her own Studio Zona, Salogni possesses a particular fascination with reel-to-reel tape machines and feedback mechanisms. 

In 2020, Salogni was approached to remix and restore three albums from the back catalogue of hugely underrated West Coast electronic synthesist Pauline Anna Strom. Already a fan of the re-released LP Trans-Millenia Music (2017), Salogni spoke to the visionary composer to discuss how she could help restore the vastly evocative canvas of sounds presented across Strom’s remarkable back catalogue.
