Finally saw the "Ascensionism - Ascend.mp3" track come up on radionomy, but it just uses the same album art as the main AMNA image. Now I'm even more confused about the empty track.

I was listening to the radio stream 2 days ago and the same thing happened, it said it was playing an audio track but i couldn't hear anything. I'm pretty sure its a problem with radionomy's website because I tried to listen to another station and only heard silence as well.

I did check yesterday and when Japanese1 played the album art was of these guys again. http://www.southernlord.com/press/ascend/ Maybe we should look into them some more.

Something kind of interesting, the Ascensionism Records soundcloud is following 1 person who's name is Tom Blur, his bio says "I work for Ascensionism Records"

Hello! I am hopefully going to join soon, I was asked to give a call sign. We'll see.
Anyway, I've been looking into Tom Blur and I seriously am unsure whether or not he is a part of this. On one hand, Ascensionism Records is following him and ONLY him on soundcloud, but on the other, he has a bunch of profiles on other websites dating to 2011 at least.

I would link his info and all that I have found, but in the chance that this gent is just joking around about working at Ascenionism Records, I don't want to give out personal information.

Either way, I am attempting to contact him.

UPDATE:
I found a part of the site that was inaccessible save for Google.

http://www.ascensionismrecords.com/forte

On it, there's a password protected zip. I figured out the password and it contained 3 pictures. We have seen them already, but I will post them in the event they have been altered in some way. The 2nd image is showing that Nick Lyons is most definitely involved. The painting is almost identical to his album cover, Pyrrho (Greek philosopher who the Ascensionists probably identify with). I'm sure this photo has a connection to the case. He is most likely Sid, he looks about the correct age. In addition, there is a microphone in the picture. I think we need to figure out what the eye signifies. The numbers could relate to music in some way, considering it is Lyons and a lot of these puzzles are music related. It's probably worth noting that the eye traditionally symbolizes intellect or wisdom.

I believe that we are getting a message that these 3 things are related. In fact, I think there's some impatience on their part, hence the hint. (EDIT: SEE POST BELOW) Either way, I need some help with something and I need someone that knows a lot about programming. I would say, but this thread is obviously being monitored. Please PM me if you are experienced!

I have a few leads and will post after I learn more. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that the PM is able to convince people to quit posting/solving clues. I don't know how someone could be convinced to stop, but you'll see the evidence throughout the thread and many people who have pointed it out stopped posting as well. Just something to chew on.

I was under the impression she didn't know, which is why she asked her husband when she was a "ghost".

It's worth mentioning that my soul ID is my real world first and last letter of my real first and last name. Either I'm being messed with or that could be the naming convention. So, if we come across any names in the future we should check the ID's.

I think there's a pretty obvious metaphor there, as well.

I asked the admin what their soul ID was and they told me A1-QPLR.

The user ID naming for players is based on the email you used when contacting Admin.

I've been trying to apply the 4 keys we have to the number files, but either it is multiple layers of encryption or they aren't for these. The biggest reason it seems to me that these aren't a direct number to letter is the lack of a standardized formatting to specify reading. For example a number string like 62152 could be read as FBAEB (6 2 1 5 2), FUEB(6 21 5 2), or FBOB(6 2 15 2).

Of possible interest, it seems there are similarities between Dutch and English 1.

IDSYS attempted another contact with Admin:

I agree with the "multiple layers of encryption" guess. I would expect that 1's and 2's would be much more common than other numbers, but here's how the digits are distributed:
