Aleksander Vinter (Savant) Interview

[@HawkeyeTheCupcake]

Savant (Aleks) is like a modern day Mozart, he is not that popular, but all of his music is quality goodness. He is a prodigy.

[@flanfan1212]

he's on his way

[@MichaelJohnsenOslo]

My thoughts exactly. The quote "There is a fine line between genius and madness" springs to mind.

[@daniela_dundel]

In fact His music sounds like The Prodigy a lot, but without the soul of it. Short: music of aleks is electic and vibrant but soulless, sry

[@mizzlemanmusic]

@@daniela_dundel i completely disagree with u

[@vario6492]

Of course he's not that popular. Your average Joe prefers to listen to repetitive, unoriginal, safe and predicable 'music'. People aren't ready for modern day Mozarts

[@MrOriginalMix]

Savant syndrome explains EVERYTHING about how ridiculously talented this guy is... I've been producing for YEARS and haven't got 1/4 of the skill this guy has... Savant syndrome is simply fascinating... Well done Vinter, i hope music helps put your mind at ease. Continue producing art.

[@VIKTORISAKSSON]

This was very interesting. I also recognize and remember every sound that is played on the radio or anywhere. It was much appreciated getting to know some more about Aleks. The greatest genius of our generation.

[@Cptn.JackWandil]

So unjustly underrated, a true virtuoso.

[@rparadiseb]

Vinter definitely gives off that "Mad Genius" kind of vibe

[@hxllxw4368]

Still one of my favorite artists out there, a real artist

[@crow_music]

---FROM NORWEGIAN TO ENGLISH TRANSLATED--- (I'm norwegian btw) 0:26 My name is Aleksander Vinter and I am 24 years old. 0:36 Neverr really thought of music as music is. It's actually very boring.. 0:48 It's HipHop, Classic, and electronica mixed! listen now: **bass drop** 1:02 I'm working very very... working fast, and annoys me when I don't work fast.. **cough** And that motivates me to work faster. And a map in my head over all the sounds that i use and goes very fast.. And when i hear sound outside, In music, on the street, everywhere, I recognize all the samples. all the samples that have ever been used that have been posted sails.. Or are in a song that someone has made, that i have heard, And i hear it again, then i recognize it and have it most likley somewhere on my computer.. 1:40 When i was 16, it raged for me.. Then i have seen so many people that was sick, have haven gotten help, and i understand that i also have these problems, i also whant help. I fucking deserve that.. I whant answers on stuff.. So the first they thought was that I had ADHD.. 2:05 then it was many natural endings gradually like: *"Yeah, you have something called Asperger syndrome"* (Savant syndrome) 2:16 And that is simply that you are extremly keen to finish things... And to finish thing to the extent that it affects the health.. 2:41 Do I begin to finish and idea, or a start, very very fast in less that 5 minutes do i got the whole soundtrack layed out. 2:54 It's right there I fell very one with my computer, the memory and stuff, to save things, And how my brain works compared to store things, sort things and organize, and search up stuff, Sitting to work on a computer is like working with the perfect banmember. He deos exactily what you tell him to do.. -and he works very fast, thinks fast, asks never questions, sometimes he gives up, right? SOMETIMES, jesus crist he must be allowed to do so? I never get man when he gives up, even I have worked very hard and forgotten to save and everything.. I almost got tears in my eyes when I thing of how glad I am in my computer.. It's suck, It has helped me allot.. Hope this helped you :)

[@NateSassoonMusic]

+AdrianTGPMuzic thank you!

[@NateSassoonMusic]

+AdrianTGPMuzic give this man a cookie.

[@girl-zero]

+Nate Sassoon The video already has subtitles tho.

[@crow_music]

i realized that after i posted...

[@NateSassoonMusic]

damnit. good subtitles though, and thank you for uploading this.

[@vernonvideos]

Guys check out his game on steam called Savant Ascent, its on sale for 99c too, it includes a few of his tracks

[@xXRandomCamperXx]

Doctors have diagnosed me with asperger's as well, but I'm a procrastinator and a half. I really need to get myself re-checked.

heheh, it just exists in many different forms. I have it as well, and while I do want to work on a lot of projects, I do it in a very scattered fashion and often give up on things for a week or longer. And whatever does not interest me enough will be procrastinated insanely often, whether it's a spare time project or an actually necessary task such as cleaning around the house or cooking.

[@povilas0184]

Stijn Köster ditto

[@rogerwilson6950]

xXRandomCamperXx in the song, I thought he said ass burgers

[@MrOriginalMix]

exactly... he has turned something that most people consider a negative into an outstanding positive... Simply amazing!

[@Skindred727]

i wish there were more interviews with him

[@TheDaneStuff]

What sucks for me is that I can completely map out a song in my head, but I cant remember it the next day. That's why if I want to make a song I have to be like 80% finished with it by the end of the day, and if I don't, then the ideas die and the song does with it.

[@todaywiththeCJB]

Me tooooo!

[@itsfloofles]

danerieber Record yourself explaining it?

[@VudVuzela1]

The LEGEND!

[@KvisTwig]

Oh! I have ASD (Which would've been diagnosed as AS if I were diagnosed earlier…) And it's so cool! It's cool to share traits with my fav musician!

[@hoopzter98]

Awesome to see an interview of my favorite artist. Thanks

[@speycah]

The song at 0:55 is bach to the phuture.

[@FoeeMann]

Tis!! I was in shock when I noticed the interface.

[@adriangussolovskiworld9440]

Savant är fantastisk , utan han vore hela dubstepvärlden så tråkig

[@lukintagi]

Yes he uses fl studio, what is the fucking deal with using fl studio?

[@DrumUnitedTD]

The deal is that it is freakin amazing, at first it seems like you can't really do anything sounding good, but as soon as you really use your brain it will explode, as soon as you connected the programm with your programm

[@lukintagi]

Thomas Dietrich Yeah great answer, i use fl studio, but i pretty suck XD.

[@DrumUnitedTD]

suck it up :) You will get better without any doubt. Alexander is awesome!!! He destroys all the bullshit dogmas we are keepin and keeps the vision straight, he's a genius, but i think we all have the genes to be genius.

[@lukintagi]

Thomas Dietrich XD

[@MrKristian252]

if you know how to use the program, then it's fun¨

[@C0reyTaylor8]

His style and personality makes him so fucking unique compared to others!

[@cathrinehallanger5452]

this told so much more about this awesome ghuy!! du er awesome alexander!

[@Curlyfugu]

Thankyou for answer :3 I asked this because I didn't know what language was it. I have never heard this language before o.O

[@girl-zero]

The track is called Bach To The Phuture (says so in the subtitles). It was released on his album Ninür.

[@nathie]

He is a genius

[@Jmhawks]

Not really its like your amazing Savant, what tools do you use to create such amazing things, I would like to know so I can create something similar.

[@maulcs]

There are a lot of people who are passionate about something and produce large amounts of work because of it. They just don't call themselves savants. Seeing how he's obviously completely functional as a human being, he would theoretically be a "prodigious savant" for which there are "fewer than fifty or so such individuals alive today" (Wikipedia). Which is more likely, what I said, or him being an actual functioning savant? Come on.

[@guitaro]

He did say they believe he has Aspergers. If you click the closed caption button at the bottom of the video (the "cc" button) you can get English subtitles for the whole video.

[@Guitareben]

Yup, he says it's the only one which can keep up with his work speed. He also uses the Image line plug in's too (Harmor, Sytrus etc), which are amazing :D

[@DanielPoxV]

Yes, I read it on his Wikipedia page, and you can also see it in this video. Amazing, being able to use FL Studio to such extent. :D

[@RobinOms]

As he sais in the intervju, he memorizes every sample he has ever heard, and he`s able to recreate them. Isn`t that likely to be Savant?

[@Curlyfugu]

what is the first song that sounds during the interview?

[@luciencron6655]

Bach to the future

[@luciencron6655]

Or phuture

[@blop-a-blop9419]

The very first one with the radio sounds I don't know, but then when he starts talking himself that's Vega from the album Mamachine (that he released under the name Vinter In Vegas)

[@vincentnstuff7381]

Wish there was more interviews with him :33

[@alexhansen6723]

Aleksander vinter, jeg elsker deg! Du er faen meg RÅÅ! Keep up the good work! Fy faen som jeg digger den mannen...

[@TeamDessert]

Aleksander du er best jeg vil virkelig møte deg og jeg kommer til Stavanger i sommer håper du har noe på gang da jeg vil høre all den awesome musikken din live hilsen din største fan kristoffer bakken

[@hearv888]

tnx, but need more! MOARRRRR!

[@haingis]

there is a subtitle button

[@TheManInTime]

He's a really smart and cool guy.

[@andollio1337]

he looks like the V mask from V for vendetta(also known as the anonymous mask)

[@BeauBeau426]

Woah... I love Aleksander ^____^

[@renegarcia1240]

He is one of those mad geniuses!

[@girl-zero]

Bach To The Phuture - Savant (Says so in the subtitles)

[@xMaGiiSK]

Dette intervjuet er jo genialt, på grensen til det parodiske til tider.

[@savf1459]

I love savant

[@girl-zero]

He's from Norway. :)

[@WADDLINGDEE]

is savant using FL studio?

[@MrCandledick]

Whats the first song at 1:00

[@Yizak]

I was saying that a lot of people think the DAW is more important than it is. Savant's mind is what you're after ;P

[@1533991802]

He's so handsome.

[@tomtehalo]

Vänta är han norsk?

[@manganistDIMITRI]

Damit. Yet another non English Savant interview, I need to know more about him!

[@luciencron6655]

Captions?..

[@remains2946]

Just do what I did when I was 8 years old. Learn Norwegian.

[@AintYourChannel]

RTC Blankenburg Did that when I was 2. Boring stuff, but I get by.

[@mariosmarinos2392]

Lol i knowww....

[@mikehive]

Savant uses FL Studio?!

[@MoteeoGT]

The LEGEND FULL Dios

[@MrFictionalBeing]

I believe he does super

[@CuboseMusic]

This is so interesting! didn't know that Aleksander actually had asperger's syndrome.

[@Curlyfugu]

Where is he from?

[@ianmcmill]

Woah I have the same chair !

[@AKess47]

Wow. I didn't know he was an Aspie.

[@dhinas9444]

Yes, he is ;)

[@AplokaXD]

He's gorgeous *-*

[@andreasmster9016]

Is savant norwegian?

[@LieBananaTree]

Sang 1:55?

[@allenvrabac4827]

2:27 that insidious smile... a dark-humoured genius possessed with wickedness

[@kylewuzhur]

and i also make at least 1 song every day, it blows my mind how similar we are

[@JeremusMusic]

He actually ***finishes*** songs. And goodnight.

[@MisterLowiSky]

great

[@slavbarbie]

Uau Norwegian does sound cool, you can imagine a Viking speaking:)

[@Yizak]

My profile picture says enough!

[@iana.]

Yes

[@TheOfficialKaslex]

yes

[@Yizak]

Yeah I know it was a pretty weird comparison but at least it makes sense.

[@Yizak]

That works too!

[@rhodesejr]

Haha well apparently you didn't finish reading the Wikipedia article you referenced, because it actually lists him as a savant at the bottom

[@xXRandomCamperXx]

I know, but i was watching on my iPod at the time. that stupid thing doesn't have any of those features :/

[@MoskaMasker]

Yup :D

[@jordanxrola]

Yes, he uses fucking FLstudio. People act like its the lower tier of DAW's, which isn't true. If you listen to savant's music, it's made pretty clear. That it simply doesn't matter what the software is if you know how to use it properly

[@gageparris375]

If he's got an MSI motherboard box sitting around, he likely built his own computer. I just thought that was interesting... even though when this was filmed that cable management was disgusting....

[@axpanos]

SAVANT

[@OUWATZAHLE08]

i also have aspers syndrom nothing wrong with that

[@string1414]

FL STUDIO!

[@nordictrolls2719]

Norge FTW!

[@CreatureFeature02]

No English? :(

[@glxxmy4244]

Cool

[@xXRandomCamperXx]

HOLD THE PHONE, i heard him say asperger. I have no idea what he was saying but i heard asperger. Does he have asperger syndrome? Because I do and that would make me feel special :3

[@garethgoertz5471]

Jeg skulle ønske jeg kunne forstå hva du sier

[@northmetalguy]

yup

[@xMaGiiSK]

He seems normal to me :)

[@TeamDessert]

Elsker masken din hvor får du tak i de egentlig

[@mythcrafts]

Dont disrespect fl studios Profesionals use it and it awesome

[@OUWATZAHLE08]

its like adhd doctors say maybe you dont have talent on one thing but there other things your got very good talent at and savant got that talent hes music ear s so people running around talk shit about the disease is bunch of haters bullys

[@themartianmantis2694]

Cathrine * aleksander

[@faaen]

Norge For The Win

[@Drum4evr22]

More than a little...

[@martinjohansen8112]

ohh so he is norwagian. i know that phhh.... dae -.-

[@LieBananaTree]

Srry i meant 0:55

[@milhouse777]

Already Mith

[@maulcs]

...and logic would expect different.

[@misterdinner3648]

hes better than skrillex

[@djikanix]

i even know he have ADHD or Asperges Syndrome o.O nevermind he making fking good musica ^,^

[@mrfunnystoff]

he didnt have adhd..

[@maulcs]

Also, the quality of his songs is right on par with someone of a normal stature simply producing a lot of music. Some great songs, with a lot of average ones. I'd expect different for an actual savant.
