Bio

Started in 2009 as a soloproject by producer and keywizard Jens Paeyeneers, Seiren ([sajr?n], like "siren") has seen long periods of inactivity and drastic style switches over the years. In 2014 Seiren was completed by adding the singer Charlotte Jacobs and drummer Gert Malfliet. Together they create songs in Dutch and English, from filmic soundscapes to hyperactive sequencer madness to melancholic jazz ballads. Their real love is combining all three in one track. Their fondness for chaos and eclecticism takes their live performance to a next level. Think of Bambi on acid with lasers. In june 2015 they got the award from Playright+ for their liveset at Minard. The summer that followed brought their first adventures abroad with a tour in Berlin. Next fall there will be a new single and video coming your way.

'Seiren, really not famous in Belgium. It's the kind of guy I like to push here tonight, because he kind of can mix the live feel into electronic music. I just want you to listen to it...'

-LeftO on Gilles Peterson podcast-

'The fact that folks in Ghent love leaping into the future in seven-league boots is clear in the cosmically solid electronic palette of Jens Paeyeneers, a man whose alter-ego, Seiren, is already on the tongues of hipsters and trend spotters. For Lietuva, by singer Charlotte Jacobs, he lets the synths buzz warmly, touches avant-garde jazz with his fingertips and spreads psychedelic sound manipulations like stardust over the groove. Shall we wager it takes him to a hip international record label?'

-Sasha Vanderspeeten (De Standaard, RifRaf, FM Brussel) on 'Lietuva'-
