Jeff Vidov finds meaning in solitude and geometry on latest release “Triangle”

Jeff Vidov’s fifteenth single, “Triangle,” is a creative, inventive, and unexpected mix of loneliness and a mathematical twist. The song is a mash-up of the full-band energy of rock and pop with the sweeping grandeur of a big orchestra, and turns a simple geometric idea into a surprisingly emotional and relatable journey.

“Triangle” is based on an intriguing question: what if one side of a triangle gets lost in a void, searching forever for the other two sides to make a perfect shape? The premise is fresh, and it immediately grabs the reader, but beneath the mathematical imagery is a richer commentary on loneliness, belonging, and the desire for connection.

Vidov’s songwriting works because it’s a mix of cleverness and emotion. The triangle is a symbol for those who have ever felt a sense of incompleteness or disconnection, and who search for the missing pieces that bring meaning and wholeness to life. The creative handling gives the song some charm and depth, allowing the listener to interpret the story themselves.

Musically, rock, pop, and orchestral elements combine for a rich and expansive soundscape. The full-band basis gives it a sense of momentum and accessibility, while the orchestral arrangements add drama and scope. Together they serve the song’s story, making the listener feel the longing and determination of its unusual protagonist.
