OTHERNESS


Created in 2023, Self-Discipline is a solo project, a materialization of my musical influences and my life path, materialized by the production of a first EP, « otherness » released on Coups de Couteau label in 2024.

My main inspirations come from Indian folk (traditional songs and instruments : tumbi, santur, dhol, tablahs, harmonium, sitar, tampura, etc.), the heaviness and aggressiveness of metal and a radical change of mindset exploited by daily meditative practices initiated by a therapeutic process. All combined, forms a music with many influences that conveys a message of hope, love and self-love.

knowing oneself, overcoming one’s own limitations and cultivating an inner discipline to achieve greater clarity of mind.

Otherness is a state of being, of a mind without thought, which makes us participate in the totality of what is, without awareness of division of oneself and the world. The observer and the thing observed are no longer separate. An inner peace settles in the heart of the psyche with a happiness of being, a joy without exuberance but very rooted. » (…) (René Barbier – Université Paris 8 – 2015)
