For C3 flautist Julián Elvira will challenge the listener's expectations, performing a set combined with electronic effects and colours created by Jesus Navarro. Elvira and Navarro, through their project, PANGWE LINGUA, have developed a hybrid approach to musical creation utilizing the aesthetics and techniques of Eastern cultures in contrast to the Western classical tradition and urban electronic sounds. Elvira plays a Pronomos flute, a self-developed microtonal flute based on the Complex System of Istvan Matuz. This instrument allows full independence of all flute holes creating millions of sonic possibilities, multiphonic chords and unusual sounds. Other works use a subcontrabass flute which provides an unique sound quality and dark tone.

Julián Elvira, one of the most versatile flautists of the Spanish and European music scene, lives and works in Madrid. A graduate of the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid, Elvira decided to dedicate himself to the aim of building a flute with a maximum of acoustic possibilities. He spent more than ten years developing an optimal flute: the microtonal Pronomos flute. From 1994 to 2006, he was a soloist for contemporary music ensemble Proyecto Guerrero. As a composer and performer he has produced Expiral (1998), Ira (2002) and 2018. All of these works are multi-disciplinary and arise from his research and the development of new technologies and structures.
