Why this music
Because Wonderland operates on dream-logic, the music stays light-footed and unpredictable — whimsical chamber textures that could turn sideways at any moment. Victorian parlour warmth threads through the mix, then tilts into something stranger, mirroring Alice's lurching shifts from curiosity to unease. It never fully settles, because neither does she.
