Time to close my entries for this cycle of the festival with a treat. I've been wondering what would it be like to play something by a musician that I know in person. Well, this cover answers that exact question. A while ago, I learned this piece. It is a composition by my teacher. It has been called "El Bochinche", but we were talking about it and decided we wanted to called it something different.

I might have had some card into the business. I told him there's a part of the song that sounds a lot like a "Diamante" which is a fixed pattern from one of the variants of Joropo in the country. Thus, the piece was dubbed *La Diamantina*.

It is a Joropo following the 3/4 time measure. It has a lot of jumps and plays withe descending chords in a tonal way. It is really cool. And it was a bit hard to learn because of the syncopation in some phrases.

What can I say about what it feels like to know a piece by a composer and also know the composer? Well, it feels like you have all the answers. So, whenever I want to ask something about this, I have just the right person to ask. Also, there are no videos of this being played. As far as I know, the piece is only available in records.

So, this is a one of a kind time where I'm doing not only the first video recording of the piece for Soloist Venezuelan Cuatro, but it is also the premiere of the piece in this digital spaces.

Hope you enjoy this entry. I added something extra at the end of the piece just to make the cover in my own style. It's been an awesome year of covers!

Moving forward in our quest, it seems the Tear is always out of reach. And as we keep progressing there are more enemies and stronger ones as well. Take for example this new one known as a *Mauler*. It comes out breaking a well. Yeah, a Kool-aid Man reference. This is one angry monster with some area of effect attacks and also reaction to our own onslaughts. If we attack it too much, it gets enraged and throws and AoE.

The worst part aren't the looks! Yes, shocking! It is that once we defeat the body, we need to also defeat three wraiths that are inhabiting it. And then we finally destroy the enemy. You know what it means. This new enemy is going as part of the roster of foes we we'll encounter regularly.

Speaking of which, Layton finds us and has a new present for us, The Merciful Blades. This punching weapon is the fastest in the game. It is a great thing to create intricate combos and overpower some enemies. It is also specially effective against wraiths since it keeps is a floating state while we perform our attacks. Now, we just need enough material to unlock all its combos and have unlimited potential. However, it has a really weak damage output. But it compensates it with speed.

Towards the end of this journey, we find ourselves fighting two Preachers and another Mauler. And it is a long fight since Preachers can shield themselves

Moving away from the solera for a moment, it is time to work on the sides. First, it's all about its thickness. Then, we cut them a bit. The next step is to let them soak in water. Finally, we use the bender to create the curves of the instrument.

After crossing the bridge contraption the last time, we find ourselves inside a prison. We can deduce this by the kind of rooms and other objects laying around. We have to traverse this maze of place to find Layton.

In our way, we'll find some stronger Wraiths. How strong? Well, these shoot lasers and keep the added benefit of being intangible if we are not using our evocation field.

Finding the observer grants us a new weapon, The Hand of Retribution. This gauntlet is a specially strong against armored foes. And we're possibly getting it for a new boss fight. For the moment, we need to press on a get out of the prison.

Outside, we'll listen to Lute's concern about the Tear growing more powerful. There's a big chance we won't be able to do a thing to it even if we get to the place where it originated.

Over the cities rampart, we'll some enemies until we reach the main gate. Besides being on fire, it is guarded a big heavy enemy bigger than anything we have encountered so far. It reminds me of one of Executioner Smough from Dark Souls. It certainly plays the part with the hammer, armor and big body.

It is a really tough boss. We need to destroy its armor before even trying to defeat it. Beside, it has some un-counterable moves that we just have to avoid. It is a fight of closing in and moving out when the heavy hammer comes to our face.

Once we defeat this foe, we can move to the side of the gate to find a whole in the wall. Briar will display her acrobatic skills and jump to it. Thus, we have reached the city.

The second step during the assembly of the instrument is to get the combination of sound board and neck on the solera mould. When we do, we add the wooden squares around the perimeter of the sound board. We also fix the whole thing to the mould using some wooden jigs. The next step is to prepare the end block. We need to cut it and smooth both sides. Then, we give it a bevel on each end on the side that will go towards the inner part of the instrument.

Finally, we glue it in place!

Moving forward from our reunion with Layton, we feel one of the first beacons pulses of energy coming from the Tear in the Veil. This sends ripples through the entire city and even affects our girls. It seems Briar has some problems controlling her powers. The essence of chaos seems to affect Chimeras more than other beings.

After this episode, we'll ourselves in upper level but still outside the city walls. We have to make our way fighting more enemies and learning about the fields Lute can activate so we can collect some essences that will be needed for upgrades later on.

Some new enemies will appear in our way. In this case, heavy armor soldiers. We'll need to use our heavy attacks to destroy their armor and then finish them off. They are a pain!

Also, this game has a sort of memory echoes reading gimmick. We can recreate the echoes of events that happened in a certain location. In this case, we find ourselves looking at a reconstruction of something that happened in the city. Maybe it was the cause of the Tear in the sky. But for now we just know some soldiers of the Ashen Blade brought a carriage into the city transporting a relic.

Later on, we'll find a new type of enemy called Wraith. These spirits don't have a tangible form so we need to fight them using Lute's Evocation field. This doesn't sound too difficult, but we have to keep in mind Lute builds entropy while using the field. If she builds too much, her form dissipates. And we'll be left alone for a while until she recovers from exhaustion. It is tough fighting without her since we can't stop enemies nor counter their attacks. If we are against Wraiths, we are basically helpless.

Our second reunion with Layton gives us some more insight on the situation. He'll also give us access to the upgrade menu. Here we can use red shards to get new combos for Briar's weapons. But the more interesting upgrades are those from lute. She has some trees of skills that are best suited for different playstyles. We just need to pick up something we want to focus on.

In my case, I went for trickery which is the branch that specializes in support. That way, we have more counters and can reduce the time frame between special actions and other tricks. A very helpful thing!

Our last steps on this portion of the game is completing a puzzle of a bridge in order to move forward

To start assembling the instrument, we need to get the neck and sound board together. This method of work is known as the Spanish method. It was popularized by Antonio de Torres. So, we'll make use of the anchor technique to have a better result joining these pieces together. First, we remove a piece from the sound board to make it flat at the top. Then, we fixed it in place and drill holes through it to the neck. We make anchors with a toothpick and then proceed to glue it up!

Done! First step in assembly!

Welcome back to the new gameplay on the blog. Today, we start the series on Soulstice. It is a dark fantasy game with lot of references to anime and other pop culture IPs. In this game, we take control of Briar, a Chimera that works alongside her sister Lute as a soul that is bound to her.

We are sent to the city of Ilden to investigate a Tear in the Veil. As we'll learn, things in this world work thanks to the existence of Chaos. The Arbiters molded the world and souls of humans, but then the war against the Chaos ensued.

They created warriors to keep humanity protected. Thus, Chimeras were born. We are part of an Order and need to investigate what happened in this city.

As we arrive things seem dire. Lots of corpses, fires and monsters. On this first entry, our job is to find a Monitor that will inform us about the overall situation of the city.

The game also takes our hand to explain the basic mechanics of the game. This is a Hack and Slash title mixed with elements of Dark Fantasy. In that regard the can keep in mind puzzles and other things go to a second plane and the combat is the main part of the experience.

There are astonishing views and some dialogue to follow through. Besides, as we progress, we'll learn more about the world and the protagonists

The combat in the game is interesting in the sense that, Lute, the ghost that is with us at all times works as a support character. We are the sword and she's the shield. As we fight, she will give us prompts to hold enemies in place and even counter their attacks. By performing these actions correctly, we gain resonance. This resonance helps us launch special attacks and finisher combos. Also it is a nice touch that the idea works as a sort of connection between souls.

Layton, the monitor from the order is our source of information. He can teleport around and has a crow named Corvo. He will tell us about dangers that are ahead and also give us new weapons. He also has a store. Through him, we can upgrade Lute's abilities and unlock new combos for our weapons.

The Tear has corrupted the citizens of Ilden. The monsters we encounter are the bodies that remained from the first onslaught of Chaos. As we progress, we'll find tougher enemies and other things that came out of that beacon in the clouds.

To end this cycle of performances in the Hive Music Festival, I came around with this song by Simón Díaz. As far as I'm concerned, it is regarded as his best composition. It is hard to argue with that.

It is a song that doesn't seem to have a specific genre. I think it is a Tonada, then it sounds like a Waltz. The only thing for sure is that it is a Poem. The song's name is *Todo Este Campo Es Mío*. And it is a series of descriptions of things that one might get to see in the plains. Everything that goes from sounds, to solitude to animals enshrined in the vision of someone who is in love with the land.

That's the whole idea of the song!

The original version has an amazing guitar playing alongside the lyrics. And it is one of the best things I have heard. My version plays on having something similar making the melody. It isn't as good as that version, but it is my version of the song. I can't tell how much I enjoyed playing it. Learning it was kind of tough. It was a song I hadn't heard before. So I had to spend some time listening to it to understand the movement of the whole song to finally give shape to my version.

And of course, I couldn't have played it with another instrument that isn't my default concert Venezuelan Cuatro. That was you don't have to miss a bit of the harmony and all the other things included in the playing of such a beautiful piece.

I'll add a link to the original version so you can enjoy it as well!

With the joint reinforcement nicely placed onto the back of the instrument, now comes the time to work it and add the bars. This is a task with many steps. We start by working on the joint reinforcement. Then, moving on the cutting a piece of it to make room for the bar. Follow up by sanding the bars and placing them. After the glue up, it is time to give them shape. The last step is to remove the excess material from the back to give it the look it needs. And now we are ready to assemble.
