The latest track in our ongoing collaboration, Tibor and Selwyn are proud to unleash this new track on the world. As with the earlier work, Vision is firmly in the Progressive Rock Instrumental mould. Enjoy and please spread the word.

Vision

A stunning new atmospheric work from SelMate. Selwyn composed it and played all instruments, and his good mate Tibor played the Roland Drums.

SelMate is the ongoing long time collaboration between Selwyn Schneider, multi instrumentalist, singer  and composer and Tibor January, drummer. Progressive guitar based instrumental (mostly) rock.

Tibor lives in the UK, Selwyn is in South Africa. They have not actually seen each other for about 20 years, except on Skype of course but they have made this album by using the internet.

Selwyn composes and records in his home studio and creates a "rough mix" of the music, including a drum track programmed by him. He emails an mp3 of the "rough mix" to Tibor to deal with the drumming side of things. Once the drum "department" is ready and agreed on by both of them, a MIDI file of the drum parts follows from Tibor, again - emailed to South Africa for mixing. Selwyn has a sample of every drum on Tibor's kit in his studio. After a number of discussions and tweaks, a final version of the mix of the whole track is agreed upon and then it gets posted on the internet.
