Raison d'être (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raison d'être is a Swedish band whose sole member has always been Peter Andersson. This is not to be confused with another identically-named individual making music in a similar vein, under the band name Deutsch Nepal.
The music produced by Raison d'être is variously darkwave, dark ambient, and soundscape in nature. For example, synthesizers might play a droning melody over the sound of metal scraping together. Andersson often mixes tapes of Gregorian chant with his own keyboard and percussion playing.
