Date of publication: 16/10/2014
Type: Exhibition

The 19th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF) will be held from 23 to 26 October 2014 at the Cotai Strip Convention and Exhibition Centre, The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel. The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) will set up the Macao Creative Pavilion at the Fair, showcasing enterprises from the Macao music industry at the event. In compliance with the Subsidy Programme for the Production of Original Song Albums, which is now accepting applications, the Pavilion will focus on demonstrating Macao original music and various audio services to the audience.

The Macao Creative Pavilion—themed on Macao original music—occupies a total area of 270 m2. With a design inspired by the concept of “sound waves”, the Pavilion combines modern metropolitan aspects of Macao with sound waves and presents the irregular aesthetics of music through physical space and visual effects. The physical space of the Pavilion will display the rhythmic movements of music with diagonal planes to different degrees and each area is highlighted with special geometric models. It is hoped that such design can demonstrate the features of Macao music and deliver the message that “music can inspire the soul”.

Through the Macao Creative Pavilion at the MIF IC hopes to provide a platform for promoting the business development of the Macao music industry, so as to enhance business matching between local and foreign cultural and creative industries. In addition, to strengthen the interaction with the audience, IC will join hands with the participating entities to initiate 19 music-themed seminars and live shows in order to familiarise the audience’ understanding of the various aspects of Macao original music. All interested citizens are welcome to join these events.

IC has invited fourteen cultural and creative entities inscribed in the Database for Cultural and Creative Industries to participate in the Macau Creative Pavilion at the 19th MIF, namely Chessman Entertainment Production Co. Ltd., Like Entertainment Production Co. Ltd., AV Depot Ltd., Live Music Association, Macau Association of Composers, Authors & Publishers, Macau Electronic Music Association, 4daz-Le Records, 100 Plus Music Ltd., Venus Audio and Lighting Engineering Co.
