In the link above you can read about how I introduced kulning to Disney in 2013 and how I got the part as Norwegian Queen Iduna in Frozen 2
I guess I can now introduce myself as the Norwegian Herd Caller who inspired Disney to write a plot around a siren in Frozen 2. I did the kulning in the original Frozen and when I finally met the songwriters they told me they wish they'd have me do my kulning on Let It Go, but unfortunately it was too late at that point as the film was printed. Happy to know my kulning inspired Disney to write a story where calls from the North has a more prevalent role in Frozen 2 and that the songwriters chose to write music inspired by #kulning. What a story to tell my potential future grandchildren, that the singing I learned and developed from calling GOATS in the Norwegian mountains one day would inspire one of the biggest franchises in the world to write a story around that singing! 💕❄️✨Most singers take fancy educations, but my first audience were a bunch of goats, so you must understand how cool this is for me. (and yes, I finally took fancy educations as a composer, but it all started with a bunch of goats that I also bribed with food 😉)
The Norwegian pop singer AURORA got the honor of singing the calls in the sequel and she's the younger Queen Iduna. A fun twist to the story is that I got to voice the Norwegian adult Queen Iduna in the Norwegian Frozen 2. You can hear it here: bit.ly/38eCtUs The song I'm singing is about a magical river that sings - another fun coincidence is that 3 years ago I wrote a call while standing in a magical river in Northern Norway..... You can see and hear it here: bit.ly/2MG66qa it's called Calling the Aurora and I'm calling the Northern Lights, not the artist 😜

With Northern Light photographer Ole Salomonsen "Frozen" - vocalist Christine set out to call and catch the northern lights in -15C or -5F it was pretty cold to be standing in a river for almost 2 hours, but what won't you do for art?
Christine is using her herding call technique kulning which is what she used in the movie Frozen to call the snow, this melody is to call the northern lights, or Aurora Borealis.
