Cubist dances (2013), for flute/alto flute, bass clarinet, trombone, piano, violin, viola, cello and contrabass, was one of 7 finalist works (from nearly 300 submissions) at the Ossia New Music Composition Prize (USA). The winner was Crónico, by Vicente Hansen (Chile).

Here is what they wrote on their Facebook page: “Martin’s work, ‘Cubist Dances’ is a rhythmically-motivated narrative that uses block textures of instrumentation to create distinct sections. The fragmented beginning matches a carefully composed devolution of structure at its end.”
