In the heart, the music often emanate a harmonic and melodic reminiscence of past experiences in glints or longer periods which combined with a floating sensation (accelerando, decelerando etc.)

Symphony in one movement, Collage de temps,[5] In liquid... and Smoke all have a reminiscence of the romantic style: Small motives and longer themes within a gliding tonality in a sculptural sound-universe,[10] mixed with a floating sensation of times, sometimes with long and continues accelerandoes or decelerandoes and at other times with tempos slowly departing from each other.

The music has some polystylist elements, not in the form of big clashes of different styles, but more in the sense of polytonality including polytempoes, f. ex in the work In liquid... for accordion and symphony orchestra, where the accordion in the 1. movement starts slowly together with the piano, but gradually makes a forceful accelerando toward a brilliant baroque figure in a direct collision with the piano, which keeps the slow steady music from the start.

It is used to concentrate the music, finding the essence in a motive, a harmonic progression or in a structural complex created by the composer.

Martin Lohse has composed several solo-, chamber- and orchestral works dedicated to international renowned accordionists Bjarke Mogensen, Geir Draugsvoll and Hanzhi Wang and his accordion works are played at international accordion competitions, community gatherings and festivals on a regular basis.
