Marta Salogni is an Italian record producer, mixer and recording engineer.

Background

Salogni's musical background was cultivated in her native Italy between the small town of Capriolo, Brescia, where she spent her formative years, collaborating with musical acts of all styles.

She started working as a live sound engineer for the local social centre Magazzino 47 and independent radio station Radio Onda D'Urto, non-profit left-wing venues and counterculture organizations for a variety of gigs, festivals, and theatre productions. After moving to London in 2010, she took a 9-month course at Alchemea College of Audio Engineering to learn Pro Tools, and shortly after began her career working as a recording engineer across major recording studios both nationally and internationally.[1]

Alongside Wrench, she has worked on projects with Frank Ocean, the xx, Goldfrapp, FKA Twigs, Blossoms, Glass Animals, Shura, Bloc Party, and LA Priest. She also worked on Tracey Thorn's 2018 Record alongside producer Ewan Pearson.[21]

Salogni has worked with the record labels XL Recordings, Young, Mute, DFA Records, Virgin EMI Records, 4AD, Polydor Records, Domino Recording Company, Heavenly Recordings, Sony Music, Universal Music and One Little Independent Records.

Marta was awarded the MPG (Music Producer's Guild) Breakthrough Engineer of the Year 2018,[22] Breakthrough Producer of the Year 2020[23] and UK Music Producer of the Year 2022.[24]

She recorded and mixed the 2023 Depeche Mode album Memento Mori[25] with James Ford, who had produced the band's previous album Spirit.

In September 2024, English Teacher's album This Could Be Texas won the Mercury Prize[26] which was produced and mixed by Salogni and she was honoured with the Producer of the Year at the Billboard Italia Women in Music.[27]

Live shows

Salogni creates both composed and improvised live sets using tape machines, loops, and feedback. She has performed at several notable events, including Le Guess Who? in 2023, curated by Heba Kadry, where she played alongside Valentina Magaletti on drums.[28] In her second performance at Le Guess Who?, Salogni presented a solo set dedicated to the works of Pauline Anna Strom.[29] At the Linecheck Festival 2023, she performed "Music for Open Spaces", a project she collaborated on with Tom Relleen.[30] This marked the project's second live performance, following its debut at Cafe Oto in London during the LP release.[31]

In 2024, Salogni performed at the Meakusma Festival with Melos Kalpa, showcasing music from their album, Melos Kalpa. She also participated in the Robot Festival with Francesco Fonassi, where they premiered their collaborative work, Orafiroe.[32]

Free Youth Orchestra

Salogni founded and actively runs a charity called Free Youth Orchestra.[33] This organisation provides free access to musical equipment and lessons through workshops led by local musicians. The charity's ethos focuses on learning through play and experimentation, welcoming all children regardless of their socio-economic background. It was established in memory of Tom Relleen. To support fundraising for the charity, Salogni collaborated with Floating Points on a remix of the Tomaga track "Intimate Intensity". This remix was released on Bandcamp through the Free Youth Orchestra site and accompanied by an original track titled "A Call from the Eaves", which was included in a special edition vinyl released by Phonica in 2023.[34]
