In 1991, he formed the dark ambient project Raison d'être, blending synthesizers, Gregorian chants, and industrial sounds. The project released its first album, Après nous le Déluge, in 1992. Throughout his career, Andersson released numerous albums under various projects, including Stratvm Terror and Necrophorus. Notable releases include Prospectus I, Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations, and The Empty Hollow Unfolds. His work often explored themes related to Tibetan Buddhism and meditation.
