Khmer

Khmer is a 1997 album by Nils Petter Molvær that blends atmospheric, electronically treated trumpet lines with programmed beats and ambient textures, drawing on drum and bass, dub, and contemporary jazz. The music emphasizes space and texture, pairing sparse melodic motifs and improvisation with electronic rhythms and studio processing to create a moody, cinematic fusion that is often cited in discussions of nu jazz and jazz-electronica styles.
