Faces on TV is the primary creative vehicle for Belgian producer and multi-instrumentalist Jasper Maekelberg. Emerging from the vibrant Ghent music scene, Maekelberg has become one of the most sought-after producers in the Benelux region, a fact that is evident in the impeccable sonic architecture of his own project.
The sound is a sophisticated blend of art-pop, indie-rock, and trip-hop influences, characterized by a 'Beatles-meets-Beck' sensibility where melodic classicism meets experimental production. Maekelberg's work is defined by its rhythmic complexity, often using unconventional percussion and deep, melodic basslines to drive the tracks. Since the release of 'Traveling Blind' in 2016, the project has evolved from a band-oriented sound toward a more singular, production-heavy aesthetic that maintains a balance between 'tender-punchy' dynamics and lush, cinematic soundscapes. Critically, the project is lauded for its 'sympathetic madness' and its ability to make avant-garde production choices feel accessible within a pop framework.
