Apply Triangle is a NYC-based electroacoustic trio comprised of Yoshi Weinberg (flutes), Tyler Neidermayer (clarinets), and Jixue Yang (piano/keyboards). Their music utilizes live electronics like video projection, lighting elements, and audio playback, as well as amplification and processing of each acoustic instruments in real-time, to bring a multimedia experience to audiences and push the boundaries of live chamber music.

Apply Triangle is dedicated to collaborating with and performing music by emerging composers whose work addresses the modern political, social, and environmental issues we face as a society today such as deforestation, mental health and anxiety, and the fight for women's equality and LGBTQIA rights. They maintain an open-door policy for their collaborations, inviting composers and other artists into their rehearsals to workshop and discuss the musical and technological capabilities for new electroacoustic chamber works.

In 2019, Apply Triangle made their international debut at the SinusTon Electronic Music Festival in Magdeburg, Germany, premiering three new works by New York composers James Diaz, Alex Held, and Pranav Datla, along with a variety of standard electroacoustic solos for each of their instruments. They brought this program, titled New York Counterpoint, to music conservatories in Dresden, Weimar, and Leipzig where they also engaged with many of the students in discussions on the use of technology within contemporary music during several workshop performances. The same program was also performed at the Manhattan School of Music and the PENN SOUND Collective at the University of Pennsylvania. In 2020, they collaborated with violinist and composer Yaz Lancaster on their new work intangible landscapes, premiered at the NYU Pulsing and Shaking Macro Festival. From 2021-22, as the guest artists at both Bowling Green State University and the College of The Arts at the University of Florida, Apply Triangle gave workshop performances with Q&A sessions regarding the use of technology within contemporary music to students.

Since 2020, Apply Triangle has focused on their first Call for Scores as they collaborate with over thirty composers from around the world on concise electroacoustic works to be recorded remotely and released on cmntx records on April 12th, 2024.
