 We all have the stories we dream to tell. We all have something deep within us that makes us want to go out and create. For me, ever since I was nine years old, watching documentaries like Planet Earth made me want to explore nature and where we as humans fit in it. This is what led me to pursue filmmaking, to become a YouTuber and to tell stories. I got an email from Arthis inviting me to travel to Iceland on a week-long shooting, captured the work of Kashka, a sound effects artist that records sounds for the Arthis catalogue. Kashka taught me how to think about the land of ice and fire in a completely different way. Through the sounds of Iceland. We just landed in Iceland. We picked up a car and we're driving in a very misty landscape. You have been recording sounds all across Iceland. These sounds are on Arthis as well. One day I just got an email in my inbox from Arthis. We really like what you're doing. We would like you to record some sounds for us. And I was really surprised and honoured actually. I see what impact the sound has on people. And I'm not only meaning like the psychological thing that has an influence on our emotions but also sound as a wave. It's physically touching the person. So sound actually can change person. They started asking myself how you experience Iceland. When you don't look at it, just listen to it. Iceland has so much more to offer than beautiful views. There are smells, textures and sounds. Here below the surface we have boiling water. Some of it we can still see boiling below. There's magma. You're very close to hell. I started travelling around. In all these places I was just stopping, turning the microphone on and listening. I thought that that might be the way to inspire people to experience words more by their sense of hearing. I think there's no crazier place to be than Iceland right now. You know, the diversity in nature is extreme here. From glaciers to massive canyons to endless lava. What do you see? I see the glacier. It's getting smaller and smaller every time I'm here, to be honest. So I actually feel sad a little bit seeing that. I was wondering if Iceland was maybe so far the most challenging places for you to film. Yeah, that's it. Absolutely. So you started as a user of Artlist and then you became part of Artlist? I shared my videos, my clips through that catalogue and that pushed me also to just go out there, you know? Go outside and just shoot that really creative something for me that sort of clicked in my head like, wow, okay, now I can become a creator on my own. Super cool to think about, you know, my sounds will be somewhere, like in some video when people will be listening, but it's a super nice feeling. As a visual storyteller, I'm used to thinking of the world as shots, scenes, how things look well through my lens and on a screen. Spending this weekend in Iceland with Kashka helped me to connect with a different aspect of my craft and realize the immense effect that sound has. Not only in filmmaking, but also in nature itself. Kashka's unrelenting commitment to her craft or willingness to go to the most extreme places and document them through sound has truly inspired me to go deeper into my stories and experience the places I'm in to their foods and ultimately become what we all aspire to be, a better creator.
