About Altair
I'm a budding electronic musician from Calgary, Canada. I aim to create the kinds of sounds that move me, and I hope you can say the same. Mean it always.

This week: How to begin again and run out of steam quickly enough to learn valuable lessons. And a slightly retooled deadline.

In this week's post: taking a step back, and taking a HUGE step forward.
I have a blog errbody! This is where I'll be writing the most in the future. I'll always share it here! :)

There is no real difference between an end and a beginning. #happynewyear
Grandiose #newyearsresolutions are dead on arrival through lack of concrete goals and accountability. With that in mind, the means to my desired ends are: -Finish at least one new song every two weeks. -Learn guitar, piano and pads through 15 mins of practice per day -Exercise 15 mins a day (cardio or weightlifting) -Cultivate a spiritual and introspective practice through ~10 min of daily #meditation, with emphasis on #vipassana and #mettabhavana... -Read at least one novel AND one non-fiction book per month -Gain friends by attending at least two new social functions per month.
Willing the person I want to be into existence is bullshit. But so long as I can let my #perfectionism go, this may just work. Wish me luck and #HAPPYNEWYEAR! ๐โค๏ธ๐ #goals #2018goals #selflove #newyearsresolution #musicproducer #whereibegin #everythingendshere

Name me another analog synth in this price range that can do this. I'll wait. @korgofficial #musicproducer #studiosnippet #ms20 #sounddesign #pluck #synth #analogsynth #modularsynth #jammin #ilovethisthing #thanksezra
A long time ago, BT (basically my biggest inspiration) had a Reddit AMA, and when I asked him how he could make so many different types of music while still being true to his own identity he said this.
This is what I'm going to live and create by. If I stop creating by these words, I might as well stop creating. Edit is mine.

So this is the crowd I played to last night for about 15 minutes. There was no gig, no adrenaline, none of the rush I both craved amd feared. Officially it did no count as the start of a career. That is still to come. I've fooled around on decks at parties like this before. There was, however, a lesson: great expectations will keep you from fully experiencing what is in front of you. That being said, my regrets are few (minus a bruised shoulder), and I am indeed happy to have... reconnected with my old friends @bardledee and @willowspace again. Thanks for having me peeps. This moment stands alone, without any more significance than it already inherently had. Most of our life is like that. #takeitasitcomes #perception In the future this Insta may become far more professional and shit, but for now I'm not sugar-coating my experience. #fizzleout #afterparty #oldfriends. #frozenfruitfest #lgbt #yyc #afterhours
