Who we are

Welcome to Söwt — Morocco’s first studio purpose-built for Mastering,
and a creative space dedicated to recording and mixing.

Nestled in a villa near the historic Chellah, overlooking the stunning
Bouregreg Valley, Sowt offers artists an inspiring setting with state-of-the-art facilities.

Founded in 2023 by sound engineer and songwriter Alexandre Tartière,       
Söwt was born from a simple dream : to give Moroccan artists access to a studio that combines warmth, comfort, and character with uncompromising
audio quality. Spanning 70 m², the studio blends vintage gear with
modern technology, delivering world-class sound.

Beyond the studio, the villa provides the perfect environment to recharge :
400 m² of gardens, a library, a lounge, and a dining room designed for relaxation and creative flow.

We’d love to have you join us. Reach out if you’d like to discover the space and be part of the Sowt community.

About Alex

Born into a R’bati family spanning three generations, Alexandre Tartière began his musical journey on piano at age 7, before trading Chopin’s keyboard for Kurt Cobain’s electrifying guitar at 12.

Spellbound by a VHS of the Smashing Pumpkins recording Siamese Dream, he discovered the magic of studio work and pursued sound engineering, eventually assisting live sound at Mawazine for artists including Rihanna, Shakira, and Lionel Richie.

In 2014, he founded his first studio, Brace For Impact, recording projects such as Barathon Lane’s album “Lush”.
He composed the original score for director Ismaël El Iraki’s feature film “Zanka Contact” (aka “Burning Casablanca”), selected at the 76th Venice Film Festival and awarded 'Best Musical Contribution' at the Soundscreen Festival in Ravenna.

Today, Alexandre runs Söwt Studios, Morocco’s first mastering studio, blending vintage equipment with state-of-the-art technology to bring music to life.
