Raheel Khan

❍ Artwork: oscillate//terrain 

Using a blend of synthetic sounds, field recordings and fragmented textures Raheel Khan’s work explores notions of heritage, society and the inertia of cultural progression. Often creating pieces with both personal memories and collective consciousness, his work dances between the private and public spheres creating an intimate archive of abstract social commentary. His most recent project Mileage, due to be released on BBC Sounds later this year, uses field recordings from taxi journeys to champion the voices of the often unsung heroes while blurring the already slightly uncomfortable lines between service user/giver, and hospitality giver/receiver in post Brexit Britain. Previous projects have been with MIF, Tyneside Cinema and The Royal Exchange Theatre as well as live performances and DJ sets at Soup Kitchen, Band on the Wall and Glastonbury.
