Maria Triana has spent over two decades immersed in the world of audio mastering, drawn by an enduring fascination with the final moments where music transforms into its finished form.
Her twenty years at Sony Music became a masterclass in versatility, where she found herself working across generations and genres—from touching up archival recordings of Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan to polishing contemporary releases by artists like Camila Cabello and Britney Spears.
What drives Maria beyond the technical craft is her dedication to preserving musical history. She’s devoted countless hours to audio restoration and archival work, breathing new life into historic collections for the Metropolitan Opera, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and Legacy Recordings.
After making the move to the Netherlands, Maria discovered a renewed sense of purpose in working directly with both emerging independent artists and established acts. Teaching part-time at Abbey Road Institute’s Amsterdam campus allows her to share not just techniques, but the deeper understanding of how mastering serves the artist’s vision.
Her current partnership with STMPD Studios, focusing on both Dolby Atmos and stereo mastering, represents her ongoing commitment to pushing creative boundaries while honoring the essence of each piece of music that crosses her desk.
