I used to work with him at a record store when we were both 18 year old kids. He was a timid, nerdy, friendly guy. You would have never guessed. I used to always put Mariah Carey CD's on. Looking back now that must have felt like torture to him LOL.

Was lucky to catch TDB in Haarlem in 2012. The opening band couldn't play so I got to see a full set under the influence of psychoactive materials. One of the best shows I've ever seen and Selim was the REAL DEAL. Amazing guitarist, composer, arranger and performer. Still underrated.

I fall into the spaceless space, the timeless time, the endless end. Neither here nor there, above or below, into the night i go! RIP my brother!

Why such hate? Have you done anything better with your life? Atleast this dude understands his own path. I respect that.

You should make a longer uncut version of your interview footage as a tribute to SL...

Top man! Geniet van de dood, je hebt een prachtig werk achtergelaten, Selim. Medelijden heb je niet nodig, dus je krijgt alleen bewondering van mijn kant. Tot in de eeuwige chaos, geniet van het avontuur.

Eterna fuente de inspiración, admiración y respeto a la visión y comprensión que tuvo uno de los últimos grandes genios de la música respecto de la falsa e injusta ilusión denominada vida. Mi mas absoluto e irrestricto respeto hacia un ser sublime cuya voluntad y hambre de no estancamiento supero las barreras impuestas por la enclaustrante tiranía de lo material.

RIP Selim 34 was too young, even though you felt the time was yours. You and your wonderful music will be missed. :-( May you find what you're looking for in the world to come. May you go in peace and love.

"The Yonder Beckons" seems to be his suicidal note, doesn't it... R.I.C. Selim
