Die Tryin’ is a electroacoustic avantgarde music / performance group consisting of Paul Brauner and Mehmet Ali Simayli. 

The Duo’s first project for the Event “Casino Real 2023” consisted of performing an absurd and extremist Noise / Death Metal set in balaclavas, expressively commenting and metaphorically sabotaging the venue, which formerly served as a casino. 

Ever since their last appearance at the Rabbit Hole Theater, Paul and Mehmet musically focus on Instant (Re-) Composing and conceptually focus on aspects of medial feedback such as routing vinyls through vinyl simulations and digital tape loops, as well as literal feedback from no-input mixers, drums, contact microphones, audio transducers, and vibrators. They create a highly interactive space, reminiscing of Musique Concrète, Noise, and Lofi Hip Hop in surprising new ways.
