Excellent work! These would be the pairings to me so far (symbol to icon):
1. Twist
2. Reverb
3. Roll
4. Radiation
5. Zoom
6. Robot
7. Filter
8. Flanger
9. Kaleido? (bit of a stretch)
10. ?

I guess the 10th symbol does not fit in this row of the other symbols. I think it was revealed to us to deceive us.

Well, I guess this explains when our missing friend Lis has to use the symbols. (:

New blog up about the symbols:

And upon further investigation, I think #9 might actually be Phaser...

New video and new puzzle on TWI.
I guess we are close to the final now.
In the video DJ Paul van Dyk tells us, that ORUMAX and a friend of Elisabeth (James) is involved in the mystery.
Later on in the video, we see James Haddow talking about his interests. Now it is clear that he is in relation with ORUMAX.
The new puzzle is hidden after the museum sign on TWI page. It leads to a picture puzzle. When you put it in right combination (unfortunately i´m not able to post a screenshot of the image here), the following message appears:
"Dusk, atop a villa, on land away from land, the symbol we´ve been missing has ever been at hand. When you find the image, tell her: elisabethSPLAT laislablanca.com"

Screenshot attached. So, based on that clue, are we looking for one more thing now, or is it just this latest symbol (which would be 'Chorus')?

After some heavy Ibiza-coastline-searching, I think I've found the location of the building in the latest puzzle.

Did the irc channel move somewhere, by the way? Chatsolutions has been down for a while. ):

That would look to be the walled Old Town (Dalt Vila) I believe. I wonder if we'll be seeing anything of the catacombs hinted at near the beginning.

So, what do you guys think about this being the picture?
Dusk... check!
Land away from land... Ibiza, check!
Atop a villa... Dalt Villa, check!
Has ever been at hand... it has been on the laislablanca.com page for ages, check!
The symbol... 'spot', check!
Hmmm. ;|!

Yeah I was looking at that pic earlier... I went through all her blog pics since that was the trailhead... but the "spot" is hardly discernible as the symbol. So idk...

Well... At first I thought the same. But then I came across the other picture of the same street at SIC, and it didn't have the same spotlight...

I just mailed 'her'. Maybe I'm right. Maybe not. (:

by the way Belle, where did our chat channel go? : (

Not had much time to keep up with this.
Currently at work and cant see the puzzle as the only computer as someone on the computer that has flash on it.
The pic above is of Da Valt.
The other picture of the street is likely in Da Valt as there were lots of streets like it.
There was a street to the right of the museum. If its that one the wall on the right side of the street pic is of the cathedral leading to Es Soto whichis the area and the battlements I suppose of the of castle which what Da Valt is in.
There you have over view of the sea. I have photos of the area on my camera. Will check when I get home.

Dear Belle
I just got an email from one of your friends (?) suggesting the same thing.
I don't think that's it.
I'm very worried, because everyone is saying that my friend the Trinket
seller is Bes (could that really be?), and "Bes" is saying that we have to
perform the ritual this weekend in San Antoni, or the island will be lost
(my DJ friend Alfredo seems to understand what he says, and is
translating).
We have 12 symbols now, including the new one with the three stick figures.
And online, people are saying they all look like symbols from the SVM-1000
(how could I miss that? I have one!), but I don't think the symbol that
came from James looks like anything on the SVM. And I don't trust James
anymore either. Bes/The Trinket Man/whoever he is doesn't trust him either.
He won't tell me why, but he does say that he has known him for all time.
Alfredo says that he has seen James on the island since he first came to
Ibiza, and that he hasn't changed! He's worried it may already be too late.
What's happening?
Alfredo says that I have to get these symbols right this time - that the
last people who tried this got them wrong, and it was James' fault, but he
won't say any more than that!
Please help me find this last symbol as fast as you can! I think one of
them is wrong.
EPx
Now what?

Miss Perl has been so kind to mail me back! About the passageway I sent...
EP wrote:
Dear Jimmy
Do you think I'll be able to see something at the end of that passageway? I
know there's a big observation deck at the end that looks out over some
land that is a bit isolated from the rest of that part of the island.
It's too risky for me to go there. Is there someone who can?
EPx
Have you been there, Geist? I'll try searching for someone who might be able to go there...
Wow.. posted at the same time! :')
