About the Artist

Lloyd Khan — Musician

Lloyd Khan is a musician whose work lives at the meeting point of sound, silence, and inner experience. His music is less concerned with genre than with resonance—using tone, rhythm, and space as tools for reflection, attunement, and presence.

Drawing from ambient soundscapes, minimalist composition, chant-like structures, and meditative pacing, Khan creates music that invites listening rather than consumption. His pieces unfold slowly, allowing silence to function as an instrument and repetition to become a form of inquiry. Rather than directing emotion, his music opens a field in which feeling can arise naturally.

Influenced by ancient contemplative traditions, modern ambient music, and the psychology of perception, Khan approaches sound as a living process. Each performance or recording is shaped by breath, intuition, and attention to the moment, making no two expressions identical. Melody, when it appears, is spare and intentional; rhythm is subtle, often guided by the body’s own internal tempo.

Khan’s work is frequently integrated with spoken word, poetry, and ritual-like performance, where sound supports language without overpowering it. Music becomes a companion to meaning rather than a spectacle—an atmosphere in which listeners may slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with their own rhythm.

As a musician, Lloyd Khan does not seek to fill space, but to reveal it. His work offers a quiet counterpoint to noise-driven culture, reminding listeners that music can still be a place of rest, depth, and shared listening.

Critical Acclaim

"Lloyd Khan has got some phenomenal stuff goin' on! This is about as close to something I've heard outta the Massive Attack catalog since first having a listen to their groundbreaking album Mezzanine years ago. That's the level of definition we're talking about in the music, and the degree of spirituality you'll hear in the vibe."

"This is an absolute whirlwind of incredibly unique soundscapes and ideas brimming with diversity. Lloyd Khan has composed a captivating and equally enthralling piece of music that is continuously evolving and maturing as it goes. The production is top-notch and boasts a high level of professionalism."

"The sonic consistency deserves commendation. The instrumental tones and executions are diverse and seemingly informed by a wide range of influences, but Lloyd Khan manages to sand everything down to a glossy finish – expertly aligning Funk guitar and ethereal synth with ominous pads and a fully danceable groove! Every component of the sound just WORKS, and the resultant listening experience is nothing short of magic!"
