THOMAS E. MARTIN I mainly compose music for installations, exhibitions,

La Sangre

Videoclip from the dance performance "La Sangre"
by Elizabeth Ladrón de Guevara. Music composed
and played by Thomas E. Martin with Daniel Lüdke.
First performed for Festival Eigenarten
at Hamburger Sprechwerk Theater, November 2007.

For private use I always use "XOTE DOS MILAGRES", a song in forro style
by the band Falamansa. Here is an excerpt of my own music for public
use. In my opinion the Falamansa Song fits better to the movie.

Thomas E. Martin, Live at Kampnagel, Hamburg, 2003
Mattias Maier - Clarinet; Artur Szczepaniak - Laptop;
Thomas E. Martin - Keyboard, Laptop & Visuals

This was the second concert presenting my own music,
as also the first but last with Artur who now is more into
VJing and editing movies. For a better quality in music and sound
please, listen to the live version of ONDA at Hafenklang, Hamburg
in the player (right top). It sounds much better, specially the clarinet.
Sounds Like: Not reproducing landscapes, but creating landscapes
