Kate Havnevik’s fifth diary posting features the Norwegian singer songwriter visiting showing highlights from her boat trip, the little house in Norway being used as her recording studio, visiting a Norwegian radio station for an interview, making a visit to an ice skating rink to critique the other skaters, watching a Christmas play featuring her mother in the orchestra on flute, and an offering of thanks to her fans, promising a new album and a new tour.

“Hello, and welcome to blog #5,” Kate said introducing the video. “It’s been a while since I’ve done my last blog because I’ve been very busy with Christmas and New Year’s and family and work… Before Christmas, I drove from London to Kiel and I took the ferry from Kiel to Oslo, so I could bring all of my computers and equipment to stay here in Norway for awhile and work on my album.”

Kate Havnevik’s video diary number four features the singer enjoying a musically inspiring week in London. Havnevik tried her hand out on the new musical instrument Tenori-On, being a judge in the Global Battle Of The Bands competition, baking a cake for Imogen Heap, and working with Brad Gordon in her home studio.

“My flatmate Andy, who is from Tasmania, he came home with a new electronic instrument called Tenori-On, and I had a go on it for a whole night and I loved it,” Kate said. “Basically it was just very beautiful. It’s like a game, and it gives amazing sounds.”

“I also made a Norwegian cake for Imogen,” she said about a cooking adventure. “It was her birthday and I decided to bring a cake. It’s called kransekake… You make all these circles and put them together so it looks like a very tall tower of cake. It kind of tastes like a marzipan cake or something like that. That’s how I’d describe it.”
