Martina was considerably younger than her fellow students when she got accepted at the distinguished University of Music and Performing Arts in Munich studying classical composition. She continued her studies of film scoring and sound design there as well as at the Film Academy of Baden-Württemberg. Thanks to her distinctive aesthetic approach, her expressive and unique voice as a composer receives world wide attention. She received numerous commissions to write music for highly awarded European projects in cinema, television, theatre and radio plays. With her husband: percussionist, sound artist and music producer Wolfgang Lohmeier, Martina has released several albums and brings her work to the stage, performing with her various ensembles all over Europe. Triggered by her symphonic score to Fritz Böhm´s graduate film MOONMAN (2006), Martina´s orchestral work has become a popular repertoire in European classical concert halls. The live-action fantasy about the man in the moon´s voyage to earth won numerous awards worldwide. In 2007, two films with her music were nominated at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science´s 34th Annual Student Academy Award: MILAN and NEVERMORE („Nimmermeer“). The latter was then decorated with the Honorary Foreign Film Award 2007. With more movies such as MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, SLEEPING BEAUTY or FASHION VICTIMS she is highly recognized for her wide range of musical emotion.
