A Flash | Honkai Star Rail OST | Jingyuan Jingliu Theme: Epic Orchestral Cover

I decided to work on this full cover of the Animated Short: A Flash, since some were interested in it after my last Honkai Star Rail medley ( • Honkai Star Rail Epic ... ). I also figured it'd be educational, since I'd be aiming for a different kind of sound for a substantial portion of the track compared to my previous tracks. I still consider it"epic", just in a more romantic/emotive way. I did think that it'd be relatively easy to cover compared to the medleys I'd made previously... but in the end I realized that was extremely off the mark, and it ended up taking a pretty long time.
Fun facts:
- I didn't want to stray too far from the original, in the hopes that many would listen to it as a no-dialogue/instrumental proxy for the original (at least until the official OST releases).
- Tried out some new instruments in this cover, in particular featuring solo violin and cello (and also the erhu as before).
- Happy with how the climax (at 2:37) turned out, as I drew inspiration from the so-called "Sawano Drop" technique, with epic vocals.
- Extended the piano only section at the end to fill in the dialogue-related gaps in the original. Even though I play piano, I preferred to mouse click in the notes lol.
Thanks for listening! :)

I heard other remake/reimagined version of A Flash... all of them nice, but yours is imo the best of all! I'm in love with the animated short and this cover is the closest one to the original... also, I really like how your customizations flows and fits so well with the track! Awesome job and thank you ^_^
