1Overall Description
This is Nightbeat's style. A sweet mix of demostyle and other influences such as celtic music (the flute is a nice exemple of this kind of influence) and even rock (listen to this solo).
A great journey through the eyes of the Traveler, described with the music of Nightbeat.
 
2Creativity Description
So, we have a mix between demostyle and other influences.
The piece has a lot of variations, in the chords and in the beat, from the quiet start, the moving sequences that come later.... This isn't repetitive at all. The guitar solo (is it recorded or tracked ?) at 2:26 brings a new vision on the music, more dynamic and punch. Plus, it's realy well done, tracked or played live.
I like the use of glide in this piece, adding more demostyle touch to the song.
Finally, the melodies are various, not repetitive, moving and lovely.
 
3Arrangement Description
There are some different passages in this track, and the transitions work well. Nice surprising transition at 2:24, juste before the guitar solo.
The panning is well use, for the SFX (this "wind" sample) and the instruments.
 
4Sound Quality Description
The samples quality sounds good to me. There's no problem of tuning at all, and none of them erase another. We can hear all of them with problem.
The "sound part" is perfectly done, for me.
 
5Does it work as a piece of music Description
Of course, this track works as a piece of music. Plus it fits perfectly with the title : "Traveler". Nightbeat brings us to a short journey, a journey that is enough various to let our imagination think of different places where the music transports us. Plus, it has a little "epic" (the chords melodie at 2:02 for example).
This is a realy good point.
