About Me

About Tricky Dilemma: Formed in the fall of 1999, Tricky Dilemma improvises-experimental-acoustic-electronica, created using a blend of acoustic and electronic instruments. The goal of the band is to explore and mediate dilemmas caused by unspeakable human emotion, pain and desire through improvised music and the creation of sound spaces.Tricky Dilemma's debut CD "The Howling Necessity" was released in 2003 on TruGROID Records- the label of Burnt Sugar the Arkestra Chamber who Tricky Dilemma also toured with. Tricky Dilemma is now in support of its recently (january 2008) released 2nd CD "John P. Parker: Viewed From 9 Dimensions" on its namesake label.For more information on the band visit: www.TrickyDilemma.com or www.myspace.com/trickydilemmaFor Touring, Booking, Educational Workshops and Residencies please contact: Jared Nickerson at 201-420-1509 Fax: 973-736-7669 or email: [email protected]
