Trilemma

(Basel, 1986-1988)

Markus Huersch (sax),

Nicolas Kern (perc),

Gregor (g) (Fender Coronado II)

It started off as a duo, but soon a percussionist was added (first Andreas Horlacher, then Nicolas Kern) and the Trilemma trio was born.

Of the songs played, “Once I travelled” (an original penned by Gregor) was - in its instrumental version “Nur ein Traum” - part of the German pre-selection for the "Grand Prix d'Eurovision de la Chanson" (European Song Contest), but unfortunately did not make into the final selection rounds.

The recording - still sounds fresh today - was produced by Phil McGrath who has since then unfortunately passed away since.

Trilemma gigs: Basel and surroundings (eg “Nostra Festa”, various Street- and private events), Lörrach, Hamburg.
