Synth spackle spreads generously across Shining Star EP, as Miguel Angelo Fierro’s Single Cell Orchestra distills decades of experimental electronic fluency into four lean, glowing techno transmissions.
Exploratory synth-sliced techno motion
Synth spackle spreads generously across this release. For more than two decades, Miguel Angelo Fierro’s Single Cell Orchestra has remained a steady presence within experimental electronic circles, and Shining Star EP further sharpens that long-standing sonic identity.
Across four concise cuts, techno-leaning transmissions bloom, their edges fizzing with old-school vitality. “Shining Star (FM Mix)” entwines acid-driven vocal propulsion with shifting synth-pop introspection, while “The 90s” drifts toward celestial, atmospheric circuitry. What might initially register as stripped-down rhythmic forms instead reveals the depth of Fierro’s exploratory archive. “Pure Love” glides through serene melodic techno currents, before “High Speed Light Switch (Disco Mix)” closes the set in trance-tinged orbits, distinguished by measured melodic pauses and a smooth, expansive production finish.
Fierro continues to operate in a state of flux, pursuing abstract modulation over fixed formulas, resisting categorization and sidestepping any single genre’s confines. Always impressive, always on point.
Shining Star is available on Bandcamp.
