Haha yeah well it depends very much on your taste. I enjoy quite a lot expectant music that has loops and a dramatic ending. And I agree with you, it is a strange combination. But I feel not in an "experimental" way.
I like it. But I feel that there is no dialogue. I mean, they fit together. The guitar stays at the same volume and level throughout the entire piece and there's no "climax"
I felt the first phrase was very Harry Potter like. I dunno why... But the rest of the piece has that GoT vibe all te way. Big GoT fan over here! Ramin Djawadi makes beautiful dialogues between characters
