Where Did It Lead As It Led Nowhere - for vocal soloists & orchestra

ringspeil - for string orchestra

Composed as the final exam in the year study of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music. Twelve-tone matrix is used as a palette of notes, where the composer used them to form a tonal language. His subjective perception of it was "as walking through a labyrinth of musical language". This however, is only the inspiration of the compositional process and not something to be heard by the audience. Le Labyrinthe is also the first experimental piece where Martin frequently used extended techniques such as, multiphonics and prepared timpani. The piece is dedicated to the Japanese composer, Toru Takemitsu.
