Silver Apples live recap
The Silver Apples live show on Sunday was as good as I could have hoped for. Simeon played solo. He has limited movement due to a broken neck in ‘99, but still pulled off a marvelous set. His live gear was some homemade noisemakers, a sampler, and something that was probably a sequencer. He had a video camera trained on his hands that projected on a screen so you could see what he was doing. And, of course, he sang. His voice has aged, but still taps into the childlike emotion of songs like “I Have Known Love” and the playfulness of “Oscillations”. Here’s a short video of him doing “I Have Known Love” and some photos.
