Aleksander Vinter a.k.a. Savant's early works have always blown my mind with his complexity and fearless creativity. But when "[Orakel](https://savantofficial.bandcamp.com/album/orakel)" dropped in 2013, something was different. This album felt like the crystallization of everything I loved about Savant's musical genius. I remember sharing "Orakel" with my friends like I was sharing a sacred text. "Listen to this," I'd say, watching their faces as the music unfolded, hoping they'd feel what I felt. Each track was a new adventure, a story told in synthesizers and samples. While [Skrillex](/skrillex) had shown me how to break the rules, Savant taught me there were no rules to begin with - and with "Orakel," he pushed that freedom to new heights. What made Savant even more relatable to me was discovering he uses FL Studio, the same DAW I work with. I distinctly remember watching one of his interviews where he demonstrated his [resynthesis techniques](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQ6S8Et8gU) with Harmor. That revelation was like being handed a key to a secret door - seeing how he manipulated sounds through Harmor's resynthesis became one of my go-to techniques, something I still use in practically every track I make. It's amazing how one artist's workflow can become such an integral part of another's creative process. I wonder if Aleksander knows how many bedroom producers like me he's inspired. Recently, I've cooked up a track as an ode to Savant - my humble attempt to capture the spirit of his boundless creativity and genre-defying style. It's more than just a tribute; it's my way of saying thank you for all the inspiration and courage his music has given me over the years. Savant didn't just influence my music; he changed how I see myself as an artist.
