Khmer (released 1997 in Germany by ECM Records (ECM 1560) – 537 798-2) is an album by the Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær. The album mixes elements of electronica and jazz.[1][2][3]

The album is based on sampled and artificially generated sounds, backed by beats from house and drum'n'bass. However, the often very slow rhythms are played on acoustic drums.[4]
