I love to paint to music. What I've been into recently: The Silver Apples
This song is from the "lost" third album The Garden.
Silver Apples are a psychedelic electronic music duo from New York City composed of Simeon Coxe III on a primitive synthesizer prototype of his own devising (also known as the Simeon - comprising nine audio oscillators and eighty-six manual controls) and drummer Danny Taylor. The group was most active between 1967 and 1969. Coxe and Taylor derived the name "Silver Apples" from a poem by W.B. Yeats:
THE SONG OF WANDERING AENGUS
WENT out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.
When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And some one called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.
Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
