Honkai Star Rail Epic Medley - If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking / Argenti / Yanqing / Phantylia

This work is a submission for the Music Covers category in the 2024 Honkai: Star Rail Multiverse Vistas creator competition.

This was originally intended as a ~40 second short tribute to Honkai: Star Rail's 1st anniversary. However, while working on it, I found that 2024 Honkai: Star Rail creator competition had just been announced, and ended up converting the track into a full length medley. The medley ended up taking the full ~8 weeks time limit to produce: 1.5 weeks on an outline, 3.5 weeks on arranging/mixing/mastering, and 3 weeks of incessant polishing.

Featured songs include:
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking (Robin/Firefly Theme)
A Gentleman's Fantasy (Argenti Boss Theme)
Next Stop, the Stars! (Honkai: Star Rail Trailer)
Gleaming Clash (Yanqing Boss theme)
Pedujara: Demiseless Existence (Phantylia Boss Theme)

Notes
1) I think I'm most proud of the Pedujara: Demiseless Existence section beginning at 2:50, which also incorporated elements from If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking.
2) I expanded on the melody from the climax in Gleaming Clash since it was so brief in the original.
