'TINFA (This is not financial advice)' - Explained.

To begin with, it is necessary to clarify the artistic proposal that I seek to express under 'Tinfa' by making music:

I am a person who knows computers, more than music.

In front of a computer I am able to trace possibilities, probabilities, paths and methods of execution for most things, even if I don't know if there is a method, framework and/or tool that applies specifically to the task.
I google, as a basis for everything. And even if I have to go 90 laps on a clunky or impractical solution, I find it. Whether or not I'll get there or not, is another matter.

Knowing this, it's fair to say that I don't know much about music, I practically don't know how to play any instrument other than my MIDI keyboard (which despite being the same as a piano, it feels different).

And lastly, this is a hobby and above all I am more of a poor man than an artist.
Therefore, this has a lot of love, but zero money.

This album contains several middle eastern stringed instruments such as the Surbahar, Rabab, Santur, Sarod and Sitar.
All of which converge with an eighties sound and the dark and modernly nostalgic vibe of Synthwave.
Samples, 808s and 222-layer synthesizers coexist with organic and millenary instruments.

As I said before, I know the basics of music to be able to compose and get ideas down to earth; so don't expect any breakdown of notes and progressions because I either don't remember how I did it or maybe I just mixed it with the rest of the instrumental.

I believe that the differential of this musical proposal is not the complexity of its execution but the construction of an atmosphere and a scenario through a sonorous storytelling.

If I had to imagine it in a specific landscape it would be in a place very similar to Tatooine but with more LED lights.

This is not financial advice.
Commonly abbreviated as TINFA or NFA, it is used as a disclaimer when talking about investments.
It's like a quick, simple hand washing, just like DYOR (Do your own research).

What I like about this expression is the ease with which people in that world directly atone for karma.

It sounds like a dystopian politician to me.

This EP is set in a parallel future dominated by artificial intelligence, by the machine.
A future where human codependence on technology has reached its perfect balance.
A future where we have so automated the tasks of life that the only purpose we spend our 'free time' on is to keep the machines themselves alive.
Repairing their defects, upgrading components, feeding algorithms and learning to create ever more addictive software.ç

Thus living in a kind of involuntary slavery, subdued by the coldness of silicon and metal.
A battle lost in the face of the passivity of the adversary who only learned to do what we taught him. A dojo in which we were the masters of our own failure.
