Ah, what a shame — per @roberthamwriter, Simeon Coxe, the lead singer and self-made-early-synthesizer genius of the Silver Apples, has passed on. But a full life lived and attention duly paid in later years, well-deserved too. https://t.co/TXGRp0y2rw

Today’s teatime tunes: in memory of Simeon Coxe who died yesterday. Some musicians are so far ahead of their time you suspect they’re time travellers. Here he is playing his homemade Simeon instrument, stuffed with oscillators, wah-wahs, switches and yoghurt pots, probably. pic.twitter.com/rBKTNrkP65

Very sad to hear that Simeon Coxe of The Silver Apples has passed away. A band so far ahead of their time that I still suspect alien involvement. pic.twitter.com/GUrA5ki9VF

Simeon Coxe, R.I.P.
I had the privilege of witnessing Coxe play with Hans-Joachim Roedelius as Silver Qluster and guest with Portishead at ATP Asbury Park on my birthday nearly nine years ago. The music of Silver Apples is still so far out we haven’t caught up yet. pic.twitter.com/PHrW7pcwLs

Simeon Coxe from the band The Silver Apples with his instrument “The Simeon.”

Photo taken from a live performance in Los Angeles, 1968. “In this shot you can see I have the oscillators mounted horizontally in plywood along with echo units, wah pedal, and so on. Here I am playing the ‘lead’ oscillator with my right hand, keying in rhythm oscillators with my elbow on the telegraph keys, changing the volume on an amp with my left hand, and singing. This was typical.”
