I have just returned from Montreal after me and my son Clint
participated with one of my Irdieden in the China Day. The show was
very good and well organised. The music was well synchronised with the
fireworks and I want to congratulate Patrice Guy from Montreal for
this. He was the one behind the whole project and his ability is just
outstanding.

Regarding the Raddiena, this was similar to the one displayed at the
PGI last year. I am referring to the gear machine. Now it will be
called the Flower since this was the first ever Raddiena displayed in
Montreal and this is how the spectators referred to it. The Raddiena
worked well.

I end my mail by thanking all the people involved in the organisation
of the SAQ Mondial World Fireworks Competition and also to all who
helped me in this project.

Special thanks again to Patrice Guy, who introduced me to Montreal.
Thanks everyone.

Hope to participate next year with more Irdieden.

Regards.

Toni

Hong Kong I-mail Newspaper (Reporting on Chinese New Year 2001) More than 480 000 revellers last night witnessed one of Victoria Harbours most spectacular fireworks shows! Reports on the "Postcards from Hong Kong show", shot in the Montreal International Fireworks Competition, June 28th, 2003 Posted: Jun 29, 2003 12:01:29 Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â· Edited by: paul Quote So, a magnificent entry from the Chinese team from Hong Kong, designed by local artificier Patrice Guy. I thought it was a very strongly themed display with a good range of intense and also serene momements. These are important in that they give the audience time to catch their collective breath. The choreography was very well done with superb synchronization to the music - particularly the segment when sequenced lines of comets were fired in time to music on a harp - the lines of the comets visually representing the strings of the harp. The choice of music was also very well done and got an A+ from everyone I spoke to afterwards. Many very beautiful shells, particularly the multi-splitting crossette stars and the broccade clusters, really filling the sky. I heard some people say it was the best choreographed displayed they ever seen so much kudos to Patrice for an outstanding effort. Finally, mention must be made of the Raddiena lovingly hand crafted by Toni Busuttil and his son Clint. An amazing amount of work and a unique item never seen before in Montreal. Great work indeed!
