Hi, Under date of October 16 there is a Paul Carter posting at his "thisisbenbrick" twitter site which reads "in the studio with Jeff Franzel and @hayleywestenra#hello". On Hayley's twitter for October 16 she has the Instagram below to which there is a benbrick comment, clickable. Seven months ago Franzel, Carter, and Hayley were evidently talking together about the album. The wheels of progress turn slowly! BobS Edit: I see that the comments can't be reached via the embedded picture. Apparently the original is required. http://instagram.com/p/uOKn3EL2sV |

Not clear how Peter Gregson fits in the picture. Will have to do some looking around on that. Edit: Looks to me as if Peter Gregson is in the Benbrick studio. The upper right corner of the picture over Paul's shoulder corresponds to the studio picture. The BIG QUESTION, just what exactly are they doing there??!!! It's actually Peter Gregson's studio: petergregson.co.uk/twitter.com/pixelsoundsgoodTileyard is just the other side of the railway line where Hayley took her "Hidden Hope" photo. The jigsaw puzzle is coming together nicely!  Richard |

Paul's instagram page has a photo of the same brick wall on the same day as Hayley did. Also, there's a pic of him (or his feet) up on "the" studio rooftop gardens. Wonder if Hayley's ever been up there? On Oct. 19th, she posted the photo from New York. I found that Jeff is based in New York, but it does appear that he travels to work with artists. I wonder if she was still working with Jeff, or she was going to work with the Alberta Cross guy... but then she went to Sweden to do that in early November! More puzzle pieces.  Also browsed through his instagram, and though we see what appears to be him in Hayley's April 6th studio pic, he posts nothing about it on his. There is something from that date, from a studio, but it looks different from the one he's in with Hayley. Also, he never mentions London at all, but he posts lots of pics from NY. But then, it was decided that the scene behind her was the same as ones we saw in Ben Brick's studio.... Oh, my mind is spinning now. LOL Another possible puzzle piece: Hayley's most recent LA trip (that we know of) was between Nov. 18th - Dec 3rd (I think, my brain is on random info overload right now). Guess who else posted a photo in LA on the evening of Nov. 18th? Paul Carter! On instagram. However, he posts that he's leaving for LA on Oct. 30th. He left Nov. 30th. It appears he may have worked with someone else, as well, since he does do other things than work with Hayley. BUT... remember Kerenza was there with Hayley at some point,... I think we can say without question now that he's producing her album, and I'm thinking he may have joined her in LA at some point in that time period. And with one of her musicians along with her, I am thinking some recording may have occurred there, after all. I'm beginning to think the recording process is happening bits at a time, rather than one week-long session with some orchestra. I'm wondering if she's literally taking things one song at a time. |

Hi Richard, Thank you for the tip on right-clicking to open a new window for getting at comments in an embedded Instagram. And, thank you for the very impressive background info on Peter Gregson. As a very minor matter, I can't go along with you on the studio-room for the posting below belonging to Peter, not Paul, if I am understanding you correctly. Paul is listed as being a member of Tileyard, but Peter is not. The pictures of Tileyard studio-rooms show the room below as belonging to Benbrick. (3rd picture, 2nd row) My take on the picture below is that Hayley has taken the picture of the group for Peter, with Peter's camera, catching him playing the cello while Paul looks on, and Hayley catching herself as a "selfie". Peter posted the picture, and Paul copied it. Yes, it is nice to see some pieces of the puzzle beginning to fall into place. Kindest regards, BobS |

Wonder if Hayley's ever been up there? I think Benbrick uploaded the photo from the same original image as Hayley, but you can see more of the railway bridge and the grass at the bottom. One of the comments confirms the location too! http://instagr.am/p/0GGVvlQd8H http://instagr.am/p/0GFQ8iL2p- Here's the rooftop picture: http://instagr.am/p/1fqu5lQd14 Richard |

It doesn't look much like a garden, to be honest. LOL

Hi, Nothing new here, but with reference to date similarities, how about this for firming up, just a bit, another known piece of the puzzle? (Nothing but the best sofar!) BobS 12/2 Hayley Westenra twitter.com/HayleyWestenra12/2 Stephan Moccio twitter.com/stephanmoccio |

Hi,
A puzzle piece that needs working on is the Alberta Cross connection, NYC and Uppsala. Would be very nice if someone could crack that mystery open a little.

Hi, A puzzle piece that needs working on is the Alberta Cross connection, NYC and Uppsala. Would be very nice if someone could crack that mystery open a little. BobS The locations are not a mystery; Alberta Cross are based in New York. No mystery there. The main guy we've seen with her I believe is originally from Sweden. The only thing I find mysterious is why Hayley has to follow him around in order to work with him. Also, now that we know she worked with Jeff Franzel, who also is from NY, on Oct. 16th, and then was in New York on the 19th, we don't know if that was to again work with Jeff (but what for, when she was with him in London (there was a goodbye London tweet right before the NY tweet)? On the other hand, that was a few weeks before her Uppsala tweet. I'm thinking the original NY visit in Oct. was with Alberta Cross, then it extended to the "Uppsala sessions" in November. But still... why?? Another thing about Jeff Franzel: she worked with him in Oct., and now apparently is going to work with him again. My question is, is there going to be more than one song with him? Well, there were 3 songs on Winter Magic, so it's possible. Also, that day, she was in the studio with a red light. Does one use a red light when you're writing lyrics/composing, or when you're recording? Just wondering out loud. LOL I'm also still wondering about the meetings with Vittorio. The Italia awards and the cathedral in Feb., then in March, the last time we saw Hayley was in NY, in a window, no less. She also apparently attended Vittorio's show in NY. I'm wondering if there's something in the works with Vittorio, as well. Either separate from her album, or possibly a duet for her own album (Vivo Per Lei comes to mind)? What about the lady that was with them at the cathedral, who is associated with Barbara Padilla? Soooo many puzzle pieces to sift through !! LOL And even more confusing things to wonder about, which you'll find in the Twitter thread (momentarily). |

BobS 12/2 Hayley Westenra twitter.com/HayleyWestenra12/2 Stephan Moccio twitter.com/stephanmoccio Hello Bob! I see the date as 3 December 2014 in the embedded tweets, due to the 8 hours time difference between London and Los Angeles: Here's the Instagram: http://instagr.am/p/wIsIUKKSSM Richard |

Hi Richard,
With reference to the time difference which you have mentioned with relation to the posting of Hayley's Moccio-related Instagram , when I click on Hayley's Twitter date, I see "9:57PM - 2 Dec 2014". In the picture of it that you have posted, I see "12:57AM Dec 3", a difference of 3 hours.
London to Boston, 5 hours. Boston to LA, 3 hours. I'm not understanding. Could you please shed some light on the 3-hour difference? I've given up!
BobS

Bob, I see 9:57 in the pic he posted. You're right, we've seen both of those pics, so technically, it was "firmed up" right at the time. |

Hello Bob and Libby! The forum software automatically adjusts the displayed date and time in embedded tweets to your own location, not the location of the tweeter. This is still true if you log out of the forum. However, when you click on the date to display Hayley's original tweet, you see the actual date and time when Hayley posted it in LA. LA time: 9:57pm - 2 Dec (same time zone as Libby) Boston time: 12:57am - 3 Dec (3 hours ahead) London time: 5:57am - 3 Dec (8 hours ahead) The times in Stephen Moccio's tweet should show as follows: LA (as posted): 11:13pm - 2 Dec (same as Seattle) Boston: 2:13am - 3 Dec London: 7:13am - 3 Dec Richard |

Hello Bob and Libby! The forum software automatically adjusts the displayed date and time of embedded tweets to your own location, not the location of the tweeter. This is still true if you log out of the forum. Richard Hi Richard, Thanks for the info. Just about 5 minutes ago, I discovered that if I placed my cursor over the 12:57AM that I see in your picture, I see in very fine print "Time posted 5:57:31AM Dec3", and that makes perfect sense, the 8 hours that you mentioned, and what I had been expecting to see. Just as I was about to post this, your message came in. Sorry to have put you to the trouble. BobS |
