He envisioned using the repetitive, motorik beats of this music as a training aid for athletes, believing it could enhance focus and mental clarity. After sharing his concept with colleagues, Martin was summoned to East Berlin by the authorities and subsequently employed by the Nationales Olympisches Komitee.
