A blind date improvisation initiated by Karlheinz Essl
hosted by Blue Mountain Contemporary Art – BMCA 

In „Coastlines”, composer Karlheinz Essl explores new expressive possibilities with modular synthesizers. From time to time, he invites other artists to join him on an exploratory journey that always represents a departure into the unknown. A first experimental exploration with the dancer Andrea Nagl took place in the summer of 2023 in an artist’s courtyard in the Waldviertel, where the two improvised wildly and animatedly without consultation or preparation.

An extended continuation took place on April 10, 2024 under the title „All Along The Coastline“ in a secret, non-public art space in Vienna, to which the Russian electric guitarist Alexey Potapov was also invited. Together, the three performers explored the exhibition space and created a sonorous and expressive movement performance.
