He is currently compiling the second volume of his unparalleled collection of live trio and solo performances entitled “World Tour Vol. 2."

In addition to working on his new album, Eldar is also in the process of filming and putting together a new video, featuring various Casio products.

“Showcasing these three different Casio products in my new video will really show how different technologies produce different sounds to create unique and inspiring textures," said Eldar. “The Grand Hybrid features the most amazing piano sounds and is the closest thing to real piano action, weight and feel that I have come across. The Privia PX-560 has great electric piano and synth sounds, while the MZ-X500 is both lightweight and customizable."
