Razón de Ser

**Razón de Ser** is the hauntingly atmospheric dark ambient/drone project of Argentinian artist Pablo C. Russo, active since the late ’90s. Rooted in themes of existential reflection and emotional depth, the project’s name (“Reason to Be”) mirrors its introspective soundscapes, blending eerie textures, minimalist drones, and field recordings to evoke a meditative, sometimes unsettling mood. With a discography spanning decades, Razón de Ser has become a cult favorite in experimental circles, crafting albums like *Metáfora de un Viaje 2004 - 2008* and splits such as *Split Adagio* that feel like sonic journals of isolation and introspection.

Recent releases like *Resiliencia* (2022) and earlier singles (*Rojo* in 2015, *En Cenizas* in 2013) continue this legacy, showcasing Russo’s knack for transforming bleakness into haunting beauty. While details about his personal life remain private, his music speaks volumes—a testament to dark ambient’s power to channel raw, wordless emotion through layers of shadowy sound.
