Description: Silver Apples is an American psychedelic, electronic rock group from New York, active between 1967 and 1969, before reforming in the mid-1990s. It was composed of Simeon (born Simeon Oliver Coxe III, 4 June 1938, in Knoxville, Tennessee), who performs on a primitive synthesizer of his own devising (also named The Simeon); and, until his death in 2005, drummer Danny Taylor. They were one of the first groups to employ electronic music techniques extensively within a rock idiom, and their minimalistic style, with its pulsing, driving beat and frequently discordant modality, anticipated not only German krautrock of the 1970s but also underground dance music and indie rock of the 1990s.

Description: A transmission from the point where 1960s psychedelia collided with homemade electronics. Built around primitive oscillators, repeating pulses and laboratory-machine imagery, this piece imagines Silver Apples as an experimental frequency unit rather than a conventional rock band.
