One of the pioneers of electronic music with a historic performance on April 15th, 2018 at the City National Civic in downtown San Jose. For his performance of "The Time Machine", Jean-Michel played the spectacular Laser Harp. Here is more info on the Laser Harp courtesy of Wikipedia:

Jean Michel Jarre uses the laser harp in almost every concert, with the exception of Aero and the Oxygene 30th Anniversary Tour. He almost always uses it in the third part of Second Rendez-Vous, but has also used it for tracks like Third Rendez-Vous, Chronologie 3, Calypso 2, Oxygene 7 and Time Machine. The characteristic sound of the laser harp in Jarre's performances comes from a factory preset on the Elka Synthex synthesiser.

The first laser harp that Jarre used for The Concerts In China tour, was made by Denis Carnus, a French engineer living in the south of France who has frequently worked with Bernard Szajner. On the recording, the track was simply titled Laser Harp (or Harpe Laser in its original French).

A different laser-harp was used by JM Jarre in the Houston, Lyon, and London concerts: this one was built by Philippe Guerre. The laser harp for the La Defense concert was built by Claude Lifante.

After that, JM Jarre used a laser-harp built by Up-Tech French company. This harp has been used by JM Jarre for fifteen years, supported by two technicians: Denis Benoit and Laurent de La Casinière.
