Biography

Martin Lohse (b. 1971) is a Danish classical composer, poet, and visual artist based in Copenhagen. His artistic practice is defined by a duality between the eternal (“slow time”) and the human (“fast time”), uniting stringent mathematical and scientific structures with a profoundly emotional core.
Whether composing for the concert hall or painting abstract canvases, his work is driven by a desire to capture fleeting atmospheres and complex emotional states.
“In my music, I try to encircle small musical moments and atmospheres that can timelessly progress and unfold. At its core, the music often emanates harmonic and melodic reminiscences of past experiences—in brief glints or extended spans. Combined with a floating sensation of shifting tempi, this creates a music fundamentally rooted in organic form.”
This same philosophy translates directly to his visual art, where he focuses on the texture and inner life of the paint. By contrasting pure, clear colors with deeply complex, scraped layers, Lohse creates works where energy, movement, and slow transitions can be experienced both physically and emotionally as the eye moves across the canvas.
Composition & Music Theory
Martin Lohse (b. 1971) is a Copenhagen-based classical composer. He holds an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma in Composition and a Master in Music Theory from the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where he studied under Hans Abrahamsen and Niels Rosing-Schow, making his soloist debut in 2004.
His catalog includes over 100 works for choir, orchestra, and chamber ensembles. His music is performed worldwide, including performances of his accordion works at Carnegie Hall, New York, in 2011 and 2018. A defining trait of his music is the juxtaposition of pristine clarity with dense, disintegrated textures. Around 2009, he developed a compositional method he calls the Mobile technique:
“In recent years, my music has evolved into a purer expression, involving very simple patterns of successive major thirds. The Mobile technique combines polystylistic elements with a simple, repeating sequence of chords. It can create a simple, nearly transcendental music, or a cacophonous collection of minimalist, romantic, and baroque layers stacked on top of each other—all in different tempos, yet with very few dissonances.”
Lohse maintains close collaborative relationships with internationally renowned accordionists, including Geir Draugsvoll, Bjarke Mogensen, and Hanzhi Wang. In 2018, the Lohse Ensemble was established to champion his chamber works. He also frequently integrates his music with natural environments, notably in his 2021 project Echoes off Cliffs for accordion and electronics.
As an educator, Lohse’s primary teaching is at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where he instructs instrumentalists, conductors, and composers in music theory. His curriculum spans the historical spectrum—from the counterpoint of Palestrina and Bach to the modernism of Messiaen and Ligeti. Beyond the academy, he has conducted numerous specialized courses for classical, rhythmical, and film composers, as well as songwriters.

Visual Art
Martin Lohse (b. 1971) is a Danish visual artist and composer. During his composition studies in the late 1990s, he collaborated with students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. This cross-disciplinary foundation permanently shaped his practice, leading to a lifelong exploration of the spaces where music, text, and visual media intersect.
“I often link a short text to my paintings and my music. While words can never fully express what happens on the canvas, and there will always be a substantive difference between music and painting, they complement one another. Hopefully, they strike a common chord that amplifies their inner vibrations.”
Lohse’s abstract paintings are deeply inspired by the COBRA movement (1948–1951) and American Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock. His primary focus is the vibrating life, texture, and kinetic energy of the paint itself.
“I paint abstractly, focusing on energy and movement. I create complex layers that contrast with pure colors, building slow transitions between different stages that can be experienced both physically and emotionally as the eye moves across the painting. I frequently use a scraping technique developed by Gerhard Richter, allowing the viewer to look through several layers of paint. This reveals a wealth of processes and events, frozen in the exact moment the painting came to be.”

Reviews
The young accordion-devil Bjarke Mogensen leap forward with vigor and excellent technique in Schmidt's clean-cut symphonic fantasy, and both swings and cutter along in the next two concerts."
10 års samarbejde mellem Bjarke Mogensen og den danske komponist Martin Lohse har resulteret i en fin udgivelse med Lohses på én gang minimalistiske, melodiøse musik, som overraskende nok er moderne kompositionsmusik fra dette århundrede. Nogle er omskrevne tidligere værker, andre nykomponerede til Bjarke Mogensen. Lyst og venligt, men også indadvendt og mørkt, hans sans for udnyttelse af instrumentets trods alt begrænsede muligheder ligger i de ofte sindrigt udtænkte rytmiske lag, der som et "perpetuum mobile" udvikler sig og overrasker. Bjarke Mogensens suveræne spil gør oplevelsen stor, og ved flere aflytninger øges glæden. Cyklus-titler som "Passing" og "Momentum" synes velegnede og udtrykker sigende musikkens væsen, sammen med små menuetter eller de seks præludier, som er mere end blot forspil til noget andet."

Note on the Archive: This is not a complete list. It includes live performances and radio broadcasts across all versions of the works. While the archive is highly comprehensive for earlier years, recent entries show only a fraction of the 500-1.000 annual performances across the composer's complete catalog, reflecting only those events reported to and logged by the composer.
