Seppuku Paradigm is a French electronica/film music/rock duo. They are currently based in Paris, France.
Their name was inspired by the self given death of Japanese author Yukio Mishima who, after a failed coup d'état, committed suicide according to ancient Japanese tradition as a gesture of public protest.
Composed of brothers Cortes namely Alex and Willie, Seppuku Paradigm was formed in 2005.
Before forming the group Willie had released a debut solo album in 2004 on a major label. Alex, who is a former member of French collective Downliners Sekt' also appeared live and in studio alongside Willie for the FARSUCT project.
In 2007 the duo independently released their first effort Unedited/Unreviewed EP.
The same year the band wrote/produced three exclusive songs for Julien Séri's film Scorpion.
Their first full original soundtrack was for Franck Vestiel's first film Eden Log, featuring singer Melissa Mars.
In 2008 they composed the score to Pascal Laugier’s very controversial second film Martyrs.
