This rare piece of signed sheet music is a collector’s treasure: Oscillations by the pioneering electronic band Silver Apples, autographed by founding member Simeon Coxe. First released in 1968 on the band’s self-titled debut album, Oscillations is widely considered one of the first true electronic rock songs. Built around homemade oscillators and hypnotic, looping rhythms, the track broke new ground in experimental sound and helped lay the foundation for future genres such as krautrock, ambient, and electronic dance music. At the time of its release, few artists were experimenting with pure electronics in rock, making Silver Apples a bold, trailblazing act that stood decades ahead of their peers. The band Silver Apples, originally formed by Simeon Coxe and drummer Danny Taylor, became an underground sensation in the late 1960s with their unique fusion of oscillators, percussion, and psychedelic textures. Though their career was initially short-lived, their influence grew immensely over the decades, with artists such as Suicide, Stereolab, and Portishead citing them as a source of inspiration. Today, Silver Apples are remembered as one of the most important innovators of experimental rock and electronic music. This sheet music bears the signature of Simeon Coxe (1938–2020), the band’s visionary founder and driving force. Known simply as “Simeon,” he built and played his own custom oscillator-based instrument, which gave Silver Apples their signature otherworldly sound. After the band’s early breakup in the 1970s, Coxe revived Silver Apples in the 1990s, continuing to perform and record until his passing. His work remains celebrated for its originality and its role in shaping the future of electronic and avant-garde music. Owning a signed copy of Oscillations sheet music is more than collecting memorabilia—it is holding a piece of music history. This artifact connects directly to one of the most daring and influential moments in the evolution of electronic rock, signed by the very artist who made it possible.
