On May 12, 2024, Jean-Michel Jarre and special guest Sir Brian May thrilled the audience in Bratislava with "Bridge from the Future", the opening concert of the seventh edition of the Starmus Festival. The live performance of 22 tracks took place in front of the breathtaking backdrop of the SNP Bridge (UFO Bridge). In the afternoon, as the audience from all over the city gathered on the Danube, they were greeted with a brand new composition entitled "Bridge from the Future - Live in Bratislava". The music was composed by Jarre especially for this event, with real sounds of the stars woven into the soundscape to encourage the audience to think about our position on Earth in the cosmos and the future of our home planet, reflecting the theme of this year's edition of the STARMUS Festival. The track is included exclusively on the blue 10" vinyl as part of the deluxe box set. The breathtaking production included exquisitely choreographed light and laser shows seen from three different countries, including Austria and Hungary. A mesmerizing ballet of 400 drones painted the night sky with a supernova-like show, while fireworks accompanied the music. The stage included two towers over 30 meters high, perfectly framing the UFO bridge behind, which itself was decorated with lights and lasers. Jarre designed all the visual elements himself and conceived them as a score to the music. The Bratislava concert was the culmination of Jarre's artistic vision, which he had been meticulously refining since his pioneering efforts in large-scale open-air events that spanned entire cities from Houston to Moscow and beyond. With this show in Bratislava, he once again outdoes himself and shows how skillfully he uses the latest technologies to push the boundaries of live performance and entertainment. Among the 22 pieces of music from Jean-Michel Jarre's career that were on the program was a remarkable new arrangement of Antonín Dvořák's "New World Symphony". This interpretation, co-created by Jean-Michel Jarre and Brian May, was a historic collaboration between the two legendary musicians. Brian May also played the newly adapted works "Bratislava Time" and "Rendez-vous Bratislava" together with Jarre. Jarre was accompanied on stage by his band, which included his longtime friend Claude Samard and British newcomer Adiescar Chase, who played violin, bass guitar and didgeridoo, among other instruments. They were also accompanied by members of the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra and a 19-strong choir from the Slovak Philharmonic Choir. The gigantic stage designed by Jarre was built day and night within a month by a team of over 100 people, including hundreds of kilometers of cables, 21 screens, 150 light projectors and over 170 tons of stage equipment. It was the largest stage ever built in Slovakia. For reasons of environmental responsibility and to offset its carbon footprint, the production has also committed to the conservation and sustainable management of over 150-year-old forests across Europe, particularly in Slovakia. The concert was broadcast on Slovakian state television RTVS. The broadcast sound was then meticulously edited for release on Blu-ray and CD.
