Sherkel&#8217;s no stranger to any visitor to TYFTH, but after gophering away for years on his own productions it&#8217;s surely time for a post to help them be heard more widely.<\/p>\n<p>Since the upload a year or so ago of <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sherkel\/night-falls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Night Falls<\/em><\/a>, a full mixed set(!) of NRG and freeform experiments that had some very promising moments, Sherkel has hit on a incredibly distinctive style that takes his melodies in a (slightly) more conventional direction and pairs them with an unbelievably accurate take on elements of Einhander&#8217;s sound. That second bit really is something, somehow nailing not only the trademark Einhander lead sounds but also his filtering techniques. For good measure a number of Sherkel&#8217;s tracks also emulate Einhander&#8217;s percussion style, as heard in <em>Yarai<\/em>, my choice to headline the post.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yarai<\/em><em>&#8216;s <\/em>melody is a rework of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BzYRSVAMRSA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pokemon OST<\/a> but still has the distinctive Sherkel style &#8211; I can&#8217;t stress enough how impressed I am to be describing such a new artist&#8217;s productions (or pretty new to NRG, at any rate) in those terms. That incredible filtering gets a run out here, and the track is a fine example of Sherkel&#8217;s work post-<em>Night Falls<\/em>. You might also notice that Y<em>arai<\/em> is already nine months old, but happily there has been plenty of progress since. <strong>edit: The version at the top of the post is now the updated, full length track from January. <\/strong>More recent tracks have definitely upped the level once more, giving me hope that at least some will be completed and online before too long. A <em>Night Falls 2 <\/em>would already be an impressive set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now this here is an overdue post &#8211; and yet it now turns out to be something of a hopeful preview of things to come.
