On the guitar, he moves fluidly between melody, accompaniment, bass lines, and percussive techniques. The lavta opens up a completely different style of playing, featuring a new repertoire, distinctive ornamentation, and significant potential for microtonality.

For Elian, music serves as an escape to another world, where the most magical moments arise from the live interplay on stage. Improvisation creates a musical dialogue in which he and his fellow musicians engage in a responsive conversation. Music has always been an escape to another world for Elian, and he strives to share that world with others.
