WNB Full Circle presents interviews with artistic luminaries that explore the ways we can lead our most creative, passionate, multi-faceted lives. Our first Full Circle episode features Grammy nominated electronic neo-classical musician Ólafur Arnalds, who spoke to us from his hometown of Reykjavik about the importance of slowing down to appreciate the world around you in order to create your best art. In 2020, he released his album Some Kind Of Peace, a meditation on how sometimes our biggest creative landscape lies within our own isolation, and now his piano reworking of that very same album is nominated for a Grammy award. Arnalds advised us to get obsessed with our creative ideas and revisit old ones often. It's clear that his advice has paid off as he continually finds new ways to question his artistic process to find novel paths for musical expression in his own work as well as his new launch of OPIA Community – a traveling music festival, label and community hub.
