Mastering the mix with Marta Salogni

Engineer and producer Marta Salogni joins Verity Sharp to unpick the art of mixing and producing. Plus Irish folk, swan necks and circling drones.

Grammy-nominated engineer and producer Marta Salogni joins Verity Sharp to shine a light on some of the obscure processes involved in mixing and producing a record. Inviting us into her workspace, Studio Zona in London, Marta unveils some of the techniques and machines essential to the meticulous craft of recording a track and working on it in post-production.

Honing her skills at the controls of the mixing desk of an occupied social centre and an independent radio station in her hometown of Brescia, Italy, Marta moved to London to pursue a career as a recording engineer. She soon became one of the most sought-after engineers and producers in the industry, working with the likes of 叠箩枚谤办, M.I.A, Holly Herndon, Mica Levi and Tomaga, and was awarded UK Music Producer of the Year in 2022. A musician herself, Marta also plays both composed and improvised live sets using tape machines, loops, and feedback. And, deconstructing the various stages involved in the production of the track Deep England by NYX, we consider the musicianship and creative decisions involved in all aspects of record production.

Elsewhere in the programme, a track from the forthcoming album by Irish folk songwriter Lisa O鈥橬eill, sonic experiments with swan necks from a whisky distillery, and circling drones from Belgian producer Jef Martens.
