Martin Lohse
Baggrund
Martin Lohse (f. 1971) har taget diplomeksamen i komposition og musikteori på DKDM med Niels Rosing-Schow som hovedfagslærer. Han har studeret hos Hans Abrahamsen i komponistklassen (solistklassen), som han afsluttede med debutkoncert i København i oktober 2004.
Undervisning
Siden 2005 har Martin undervist i teori på DKDM, og er i dag faggruppeleder.
Han har desuden undervist på kandidatuddannelsen i filmkomposition, Syddansk Musikkonservatorium, på kompositionscamp på Engelsholm Højskole og har ved flere lejligheder givet kurser og soloundervisning i komposition samt musikteori for både klassiske-, rytmiske- og filmkomponister.
Kunstnerisk praksis
Martin har skrevet godt 100 værker for kor, orkester samt forskellige kammermusikbesætninger med og uden elektronik. Hans værker opføres internationalt, både i Europa, Asien og USA, og har været spillet på utallige nationale og internationale festivaler, herunder det prestigefyldte Carnegie Hall i New York i 2011 og 2018.
Martins musik er melodisk, tonal og er undertiden strengt struktureret med rod i teknikker, han har udviklet på baggrund af matematiske og naturvidenskabelige principper. Særligt modsætningen mellem den langsomme tid, det evige og den hurtige tid, den menneskelige, er essentiel i hans kunstneriske virke og ligger ofte som den bagvedliggende struktur og kraft i værkerne.
Musikken har ofte en stærk emotionel kerne, som Martin udtrykker på en både enkel og umiddelbar, men også kompliceret måde. Det kan være gentagne harmoniske mønstre, der, på grund af deres langsomme regelmæssige forandring, opleves som noget fast og uforanderligt, eller melodier, der enten står tydelig frem, er skjult bag flere rytmiske eller tempomæssige lag eller gør begge dele på samme tid.
Den musikalske følelse, den emotionelle kerne, i musikken, oplever Lohse som bydende nødvendig for at forbinde lytteren med værket. Derved åbnes op for, at de dybere strukturer og mønstre i værket kan opleves og erkendes, hvad enten denne erkendelse foregår bevidst eller ubevidst som en del af en samlet kunstneriske oplevelse af værket.
Udover at komponere akustisk og elektroakustisk musik, maler han abstrakte billeder – gerne i rene klare farver.
