Voice
Martin is a very successful voice-over artist.
He has been doing live continuity for the Norwegian satellite
channel TV3 for several years, a job which has also given him
great experience of TV production in general, as he has had
"editorial control" of the channel in primetime.

Composer
Martin is a classically trained pianist, and a
proficient guitarist. He writes music to picture and for theatre,
and released his debut album of original piano pieces, Essence,
in December 2005 on the Otherwise label, under the artistic
name Sole.
He composed and performed all music for the play
A Summer's Day at the Palace Theatre, and he was the
Musical Director and composed additional music for a tour of
Medea with Amazonia Theatre Company. He also composed
for Oh What a Bloody Circus at the Courtyard Theatre
and for Pieces at the Soho Theatre.
To picture he did all sound, music, ADR and foley
for the short film Meli Melo and all sound and music
for the documentary Surviving the Arctic.

Documentary-maker
Martin produced and edited the documentary Surviving the
Arctic, an Otherwise Production, in 2004. It is the extraordinary
tale of two ordinary guys, skiing 600 kilometres across Greenland
completely unassisted. Provocative, exciting and graphic, the
documentary premiered on the satellite channel Viasat Explorer
in June 2004 to viewers in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Martin's next project, Humanity / Identity
(working title), will also be an Otherwise Production.
In May 2006 he sets off on a 3-year philanthropic journey of
internal and external discovery around the world - a subjective
and completely non-scientific research into what it
means to be human, our concepts of identity and existence, and
our motivations for survival. In the process he hopes to create
a global communication of human existence in musical form, by
passing around, and recording the responses to, a specifically
composed piece of music.

or follow his footsteps around the world, listen to the music
and take part in the discussion by visiting www.freewilltravel.com.
Martin owns and runs Otherwise Records, Otherwise Productions
and Otherwise Studios in partnership with Corinne Kempa:
