Cinewav delivers high-quality synchronised audio for Danang Fireworks Festival

June 13, 2023

To deliver synchronised audio via mobile phones for Vietnam’s Danang Fireworks Festival, consultancy Global 2000 International and main sponsor Sun Group turned to Cinewav.

This was debuted at the official opening ceremony on 2nd June where locals and tourists across Da Nang, Vietnam’s fifth most populated city, could listen to a clear, crisp soundtrack using their smartphone in perfect sync with the fireworks themselves.

This year, the festival theme is ‘Light Up a Borderless World’ with fireworks displays from some of the best in the pyrotechnics world including a local Vietnamese team and seven international teams - Art Eventia (France), Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics (Australia), Joho Pyro Professional (Finland), Martarello Fireworks Company (Italy), Pyrotex Fireworx Company (United Kingdom), Surex Firma Rodzinna (Poland) and TW Hand Fireworks Co (Canada).

Howard & Sons Pyrotechnics from Australia bring 100 years of experience across four generations. Andrew Howard, Director shared his involvement at DIFF 2023 “we have designed and programmed every single pyrotechnic effect to launch and burst in perfect time with the music soundtrack. The audiences being able to immerse themselves in the emotive music soundtrack and then be mesmerised by the magic of our fireworks effects dancing in perfect synchronisation with the music is what we always want to achieve in producing our displays. Together the fireworks and the music soundtrack create a powerful pyromusical production, a once in a lifetime event experience creating vivid memories they will remember for the rest of their lives.

“Cinewav ensures that a broader audience at our fireworks displays are able to tune into the music soundtrack and hear the powerful music scores and enjoy pyromusical production.”

Using Cinewav offers significant benefits to event organisers with Howard explaining “traditionally event sites have a large-scale audio distribution system installed in main audience areas but not in all spectator vantage points. Our fireworks displays can be designed to be viewed by spectators spread over several kilometres of an event site or city not just the front row of seats. This technology gives the power of music to the people to ensure they can hear the music soundtrack.”

Christian Lee, co-founder of Cinewav advised “this is the first fireworks Festival that Cinewav has been involved with and we are proud to be a significant part of it.”

Pham Tu Cau, Vice President and Chief Executive at Sun Group Central Vietnam, Executive Office of Central Region was instrumental in bringing Cinewav onboard to play a part in DIFF 2023 notes “It truly inspired me. I was struck at the sound quality which perfectly matched the visuals. This is also the first time in Vietnam that a renowned festival like DIFF applies this technology. I think this will be a new and exciting experience that visitors will surely enjoy. DIFF 2023 is a great way to showcase international talent to a local audience, to attract tourists to the area and promote the local economy and businesses. I believe that Cinewav is a game changer for large-scale events.”

Nadia Shakira Wong, managing director of Global 2000 International added “DIFF 2023 is back and it’s bigger than ever. We’re breaking all records in Fireworks design and innovation. With Cinewav, the whole city can enjoy the full experience of the fireworks which are carefully choreographed to musical scores. DIFF 2023 is combining the very best in knowledge and a rich history in beauty, danger, and invention without boundaries.”

Now in its 11th edition, Danang International Fireworks Festival runs from 2nd June to 8th July 2023. Extending the Festival beyond displays, Da Nang city has multiple cultural programs including Danang Electronic Carnival, an online beauty photo contest, M-Pack Carnival and a street food programme.

For each scheduled firework event, visitors can download the Cinewav app to their smartphone from Apple, Google Play or Huawei AppGallery, get the audio ticket free of charge and press ‘Play’ - and remember to bring earphones/headphones.

Founded in 2018, Cinewav is dedicated to enriching the viewer experience by providing outstanding, cinematic quality audio.
