Petals – The debut single of Flawed Theorem

Nadine — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:15:00 +0000

In my previous post, I announced my new band project Flawed Theorem. Today we just released our first single, “Petals”. Read this post to find the link. Petals is a reflection on the quiet tension between hope and doubt. It takes inspiration from the familiar ritual of plucking petals one by one, caught in the question of “she loves me, she loves me not”. A simple act that can carry surprising emotional weight. Gentle acoustic sections give way to heavy riffs, mirroring the shift from inward reflection to the urge to act. In the very last moment you might ask yourself: When everything comes down to it, where will the final petal land? Christopher and I chose “Petals” as the first song because it’s one of our most accessible and radio ready songs. We did not want to bother you with an 8-minute song at first time, but we promise that this will happen someday soon! Everybody who pre-saved the song should be able to access it on their streaming platforms. If not, please follow this link again.

Flawed Theorem – A brand-new music project

Now it’s official: together with Christopher, I’m launching the online band “Flawed Theorem”. How it all came about, and what we’ll be releasing soon, you can read up here. If you have been following my website or music profiles for a while, you might have come across Christopher Matthew Smith before. On my album “Going My Way”, we recorded “At your command”, an epic prog rock track with numerous time signature changes. Over the following years, we created many more songs ranging between alternative rock, progressive rock, and metal. All of them felt cohesive, like they belonged together. We held them back, thinking they might work for an album. Last summer, we finally met in person and decided not just to make an album, but to form a band. It took us several months to come up with a band name, and then things moved pretty quickly: logo design, social media channels, mastering songs and searching for artwork. Flawed Theorem is now officially the progressive rock / metal band formed by Christopher and me. Alongside composition, arrangement, and production, I will also play synthesizers and guitar. Christopher will be writing lyrics and providing vocals on all tracks. If you’re into Tool, System of a Down, Opeth, or Katatonia, you might enjoy our song. Other influences include Coheed and Cambria, Led Zeppelin, and Pearl Jam. Since I currently have to take a break from making music, we decided two weeks ago to finally go public with the project. We would really appreciate your support, so feel free to drop a like, follow, or comment on our profiles: https://www.facebook.com/flawedtheoremhttps://www.instagram.com/flawedtheoremhttps://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/3aOJWxo4UujSzJ3DLHyJvehttps://soundcloud.com/flawedtheoremhttps://flawedtheorem.bandcamp.com You can already pre-save our debut single “Petals”. As a nice side effect, you will also be able to follow our brand-new profiles on streaming platforms. They are currently set private, so we cannot forward links.

I am happy to announce that my album “Going My Way” is now available on all streaming platforms. If you always wanted to stream that album, go ahead and spin it! “Going My Way” is a wild ride through many different genres in between pop, rock and metal. The album has been recorded as online collaborations with 21 musicians. It’s one of my favourite albums, because it truly reflects my skills in songwriting, arrangement and production. “Going My Way” is the beginning of a new chapter, a chapter, where I’m not only tweaking knobs and automations in my DAW, but also play real instruments, write arrangements for full bands, contribute lyrics and co-write with talented folks all over the globe. It has been such a treat to work with so many talented musicians. Big shoutout to David Taro, Nate Gerry, Chad Lenig, I AM MEADOWS, Kelly Best, Roman Wreden, Michael Karns, Jason Challis, Garrett Kirby, Jordan Hirsch, Simon Ashby, Stefan Hartl, Gammafied, Caitlin Sigler, Kate Stanton, Rich Brewer, Ben Kohr, Alex Pinheiro, Stephan Kösters and Robert Cooperider (in no particular order). You will find many of these names in my later works! I highly encourage you to join the Bandcamp listening party tonight 8pm CEST and have a chit-chat with us.

Civil Obedience – Love and Peace

Nadine — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 15:00:00 +0000

In a world that feels overwhelming and fractured, the call for love and peace is more prominent than ever. “Civil Obedience” reminds us to focus on what truly matters: love and compassion. “Civil Obedience” is a highly energetic indie rock song that draws from the raw spirit of 90s rock, and energetic positivity of the 60s hippie movement. Impassioned vocals and meaningful lyrics meet a catchy guitar riff. We designed this feel good anthem for a better tomorrow. The Karlos Kollective and I wanted to collab for quite a long while. Their rather psychedelic sound needed a big stadium anthem, and this is what happened when I wrote “Civil Obedience”. Everything started with a simple guitar riff, that stayed in my head for days. By sending it back and forth, we wrote a full song around that riff, and deliberately decided that the intro has to be long and epic. Please be patient for the full-blown explosion towards the end. You can find our song on all streaming services now. I hope you enjoy it!

No Difference – 80s synth pop is not indifferent

Nadine — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 11:00:00 +0000

If you enjoy 80s synth pop, you will fall in love with our calm and sad song “No Difference”. Steady electronic rhythms and old school synthesizers meet emotional vocals. Our song is now available on all platforms. As I’m pretty loaded with collaborations and open projects, I decided to write lyrics. So I had a deeper look into SHUENs profile to have an idea about the topics and atmosphere. That’s where I ended up writing something about somebody who is indifferent to everything. He came back with a crazy good synth pop sound, and a very catchy melody. Our song is now available on all platforms.
