The music of Silver Apples clearly belongs to the late 1960s, but it is still popular now and is continuously showing its bright future. Now we have Simeon Coxe, the original member from this band, in front of us to tell us the secrets that Silver Apples’ glory can go beyond the time.
Silver Apples was formed in 1967 and then published two albums. However, unlike the mainstream music at that time, Silver Apples used oscillator and drums to make their music which is even totally different from rock music. It sounds still very futuristic today. Can you explain for us that how you could come up with such a wonderful idea?SC: I can not say that it was an inspiration suddenly occurring to me and I was inspired at the moment to make Silver Apples’ style of music. I would rather say that it is the Silver Apples’ style of music that selects me. Because, I just started as a singer and had my own band. Then I came into contact with the oscillator and therefore put it into the lineup of our band’s performances. Luckily the results were pretty good, so I thought it was perfect and then add more oscillators in the configuration of the band because by doing so we could have more changes and more fun. However, some time later some members of the band chose to drop out, therefore only me and the drummer Danny left. As a result, Silver Apples was born. So I think it’s more like a kind of natural arrangement rather than an unexpected inspiration.
The music of Silver Apples sounds like electronic music and it also emphasizes repetitiveness and is very mechanized. And it is totally different from the Solo and idealistic rock music in 1960s. Perhaps we can read this different way of making music into a rebellion of Silver Apples to hippie culture.
