SAM Recording Studio

Founded in 1981 by sound designer and music producer Mirco Mencacci, over the decades SAMworld has gained international recognition in music, film and art. In 1996, we opened three additional studios in Rome, where we supervised the audiovisual post-production of over 400 films.

SAMworld founder and artistic director Mirco Mencacci loves to record and experiment with every aspect of the sonic experience. As the sound designer for acclaimed directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni, in 2004 he developed the Spherical Sound® system for capturing immersive sound.

Mirco served as a sound consultant for renowned companies such as car manufacturer Ferrari and held lectures at the Syracuse University in New York State and at the CPM Music Institute in Milan.

Our sound design projects have been awarded at major film festivals and exhibited at renowned venues such as the Guggenheim and MOMA in New York, Pompidou in Paris, MAXXI in Rome and the Venice Biennale.
