13-02-06 EFTER GRAND PRIX

En hilsen fra Kristine Blond vedr. hendes Dansk Melodi Grand Prix deltagelse lørdag den 11. februar, 2006:

Tusind tak for alle jeres indlæg vedrørende Melodi Grand Prix! Det varmer mere end I aner. Det var en stor oplevelse for mig, at stå på scenen i Ålborg i lørdags. Jeg stod foran 8000 mennesker, der smilede til mig og så ud til at have en fantastisk aften. Herudover var der ALLE JER (!!), der fulgte med foran skærmen. Og på responsen i min gæstebog og hos folk jeg møder og taler med, kan jeg mærke og høre, at I også ”var med”. Uanset placering er det ubetinget den mest intense, spændende, nervepirrende, lyksalige musikalske begivenhed jeg nogensinde har taget del i. Og dette p.g.a. jer. Uden jeres medleven, interesse og entusiasme havde det ikke kunnet være sådan. Både op til, under og efter showet. Tusind tak! Det er dybt rørende. Jeg glæder mig til at dele meget mere musik med jer!

Der har været et par spørgsmål vedr. ”mine” sange i Peter Pan. Jeg tror desværre ikke de er til opdrive på anden vis end ved at købe selve filmen på dvd og lytte til den, som den underlægning den er, undervejs i historien om Peter Pan. Man kan evt. kontakte Buena Vista, som distribuerer Walt Disney herhjemme. Måske kan de hjælpe.

OG til spørgsmålet om kjolen!! Som jeg havde på under min optræden ved Grand Prix. Som i virkeligheden ikke er en kjole:-) Men en nederdel, en top og et bælte/bånd. Alt sammen fra Woolford.

07-01-06 DANSK MELODI GRAND PRIX

Kristine Blond er solist i Det Danske Melodi-grandprix den 11. februar!

Kristine er med sit unikke sangtalent og sans for stilfuld performance blevet valgt til synge "Make this night forever"

"Jeg er glad og beæret over at skulle medvirke i Grandprix med en så smuk sang som jeg synes "Make this night forever" er. Jeg glæder mig til at dele den med de mange danskere, der skal se og høre med ved Grandprix den 11. februar"

Dansk Melodigrandprix har siden Brødrene Olsens sejr været et ombejlet samlingspunkt for danske musikere. ´Make this night forever´ blev udvalgt blandt mere end 350 ansøgere.

Many vocal and musical recordings are completed. At this point we still need to record a string quartet on six or seven songs and some other significant details as piano and live drums. BUT we are getting there and it sounds good!

11-10-05

Now you can go to AUDIO/VIDEO and hear samples of two new songs called “Forever” and “Stereotype”. And for the same two songs you can read the words if you go to LYRICS. We are still in the studio recording. Michael and I! It’s been dragging out a bit lately since we have so many decisions to make soundwise. We have had to redo and rethink so many things along the way because we weren’t sure. But we’ve always felt proud of our songwriting and the sound is finally coming together little by little. Hope you’ll enjoy it! Keep checking this website for updates. And perhaps more soundbites, tourdates etc.

We are in the studio recording with a stringquartet on five songs. Thommy Anderson, an extremely talented musician has arranged many of our songs for strings. This session will show us whether we are in the right direction soundwise. On top of these recordings we need the final touch of a percussionist and a bass-player. The vocals and guitar parts have been recorded.

21 - 25-01-05

We are recording vocals and guitar on five songs.

21-01-05

Performing at the opening of Ballerup Arena.

01-01-05

Writing songs and making demo recordings all through January

August 04

We are in the process of having the songs arranged so that the full constellation will be percussion, bass, guitar, a classical string quartet and of course me.

July 04

Michael Mendel Stern (my co-writer) and I took a trip to Sweden to be able to focus completely on writing our songs. We arrived at this house that had no water in the taps but lots in a well outside. The nearest grocery store was 10 km from us and only to be reached by bike. But most drastic of all: There was no network for my beloved mobile phone.

We had only been there 20 minutes when we sat down on the terrace - Michael with his guitar and me with my minidisk on "record". Within minutes the song "You've seen" had written itself. Ironically this was the best we wrote during our entire stay, and in my view the best we've ever written.

March 04

Michael and I have agreed on intensifying our collaboration. At the moment, we are playing with the idea of having classical instruments and influences in the productions.

Spring 03

I bought a guitar on a mission to feel independent in regards to song writing. I learned four chords immediately and wrote a few songs, but I have barely touched the guitar since I teamed up with musician and songwriter, Michael Mendel Stern. We seem to have a musical understanding. I have been in a co-writing situation many times before with both high profile and talented writers, but there are so many difficult aspects of communicating in such a sensitive process. And with Michael everything falls into place.

Autumn 02

I spent most of 2002 doing promotion in Germany and had my latest commercial release in the fall.
