It dawned on me that the triangle is one of the least understood instruments. After an extensive Google search I haven't found any triangle composers, players, or songs.
I did find one triangle solo on YouTube and the natural ADSR of the triangle was mind blowing.
Besides the mockery FOO FIGHTER's triangle solo.
Can anyone recommend a good triangle track or player?
I envision synthesizing an entire ensemble from triangle material. I'd use a single hit but I want to understand how the instrument behaves in context. Just like you can't get the full grasp of a cymbal without hearing it in context.

You should find lots of triangle-wizardry in the brazilian Foro-music. The rythm section mainly consists of one handdrum-player and one triangle-player and probably blows aways any mpc-beatmaker in a second.

I have recently been workign with a creative arts charity going into schools teaching music to 10year old children. Some of those were very good with the triangle.

Some of the maracca playing was awesome too.

triangle is great for house music -especially tribal - and a staple of latin percussion etc - often it can take a similar place to the hi-hat
I'd love to hear what you come up with
+1 for the Brazillian stuff
