Simeon Coxe, Silver Apples Founder, Dead at 82

Photo: Gary Wolstenholme/Redferns Simeon Coxe, an innovator in electronic music and synthesizer performance, died at 82 on September 8, according to AL.com. The Guardian reported he had pulmonary fibrosis. Coxe formed the group Silver Apples in the 1960s, becoming one of the first musicians to perform with a synthesizer. He introduced a 1940s oscillator when he performed with the Overland Stage Electronic Band, prompting all other members to quit except for Danny Taylor.

Born in Tennessee, Coxe moved to Alabama after Silver Apples disbanded, working as an ice-cream-truck driver and a newscaster. He reformed the band with Taylor and new member Xian Hawkins in 1996, and in 1998 released The Garden, the album they shelved after the Pan Am lawsuit. Taylor died from a heart attack in 2005, and Coxe continued to sample his drumming for live performances and the group’s final album, 2016’s Beacon.
