"I am very attracted to the idea of music as an environment. In Entresons.Recreo I want to create territories and a sense of journey. The listener (traveler) actively discovers his surroundings - the colors, the contours, the temperatures, the elements, and the overall geography" - Alexandre Lunsqui
