ABOUT ME

My name is Renato Seixas and I was born in Oporto, Portugal. I grew up watching Miyazaki's flying ships on 'Future Boy Conan' which seduced and made me become interested in the magical animated world.

I am a graphic / sound designer based in Madrid, Spain.
My websites:
FireGirl -- a virtual design studio (http://www.firegirl.co.pt), with my artistic and commercial work. A collection of dreams, images, sounds, memories, real and imaginary worlds; stories which sometimes get mixed together.

MAD_B -- is a regulating sensations container
(http://www.myspace.com/masalladelbajon)
Sonic Soundscapes, digital beats and electro-loops are just some of the ingredients that make up this capsule of emotional electronica.

My work has been published in magazines and books: IdN Magazine, Communication Arts, Tres Logos - Die Gestalten Verlag, Around Europe Logos / Publisher, Spoor, Atomica and so on.

I am developing original soundtracks for a contemporary dance academy based in Madrid.

And I am recently preparing a new sound / visual performance to be presented in NYC/Brooklyn this September: The Sincope Of The Sleeping Beauty.

I am busy every day 'talking' to my character design figures, to my robots and heroes I collect in the "FireGirl's Arch".
