HOW A NEW SOUND IS BORN: BIOGRAPHY OF THE SIMEON SYNTHESIZER
We knew him from Silver Apples of course...

“We are the first to admit that the Simeon is a crude little monster. It was never meant to be a Moog-like creature, in fact it was recently in the same recording studio with a Moog and it didn’t blush a bit. Someone called it the result of hippie technology and it flexed its muscles. It is made to be a live-performance instrument, and leaves all the multi-overdubbing tricks to the sophisticated black boxes with blinking lights and myriads of patch cords. The Simeon loves to crouch out in the middle of a stage and have someone pull out all of its stops. It’s an energy machine— gettin it together— it once tried to mount the Moog, with love in its tubes.”- Simeon Coxe, Other Scenes, Volume 3/Issue 8, July 1-14, 1969
