notes
Australis is the natural expression of the human heart beyond languages, cultures and distances; constantly searching for the real sound of emotions, the unique melody of feelings, the intense rhythms of passion... to express what cannot be told by spoken tongues.
After many years of musical and personal evolution, Australis becomes a formal project by middle 2004 and takes its name from the ancient latin term that means "from the south"; a symbol of the places where he experienced his first loves, his first fears.
His music, the interbreeding of sound and spirit, journeys through new age, ambient, world, electronica, film and classic styles; touching them with his own acoustic perceptions. The always unique outcome creates musical landscapes where heart and rhythm interweave seamlessly, rich and vast environments inviting the soul to explore and discover, to expand, to feel.
Australis' debut album "Lifegiving", released in May 30th, 2005, is a first offering from those emotional and intimate sceneries. Its tracks have been favorites in several online radio stations long before its release and earned Australis the Morpheus Music's "2004 Best New and Independent Artist" award in January 2005.

Beautifully textured and orchestrated
author: Michael HayesAs a musician myself, I find instrumental music to be the ultimate creative expression. I’m always searching for the ultimate unique musical experience and Australis delivers on the highest level. When I heard the CD Baby Samples I immediately clicked add to cart. The music is beautifully textured and well orchestrated. I look forward to the next release so I can rush out and buy it!
Great Choice!
author: Ellis HadlockAustralis' music is captivating, intriguing, technically solid, and atmospherically beautiful. A very unique style that welcome's your attention to enjoy. Every song is excellent in it's own way. So many wonderful songs on this CD too. This is a great choice for your musical collection.
Great melodic electronica
author: Fred SynthI heard a song from this CD while listening to an internet radio. I was instantly hooked. And so will you be when you hear the lush melodies and refined sound of this great album. The tracks (all instrumental) are a fantastic display of what you can do when you combine solid melodies and great sound. The album avoids the two main pitfalls of electronica: predictability and roughness. To the contrary, these tracks have just the right amount of surprise to maintain the listener's interest, while providing a clean yet rich and enjoyable sound. The inspirations of the CD could be categorized in Jean-Michel Jarre (the good stuff only), Vangelis, and Tangerine Dream. If you like synths and good melodies, you'll love this album.
Lush Melodies + Rhythmic Grooves = Sonic Brilliance
author: Raj ManoharanLifegiving is an auspicious debut for this promising Ambient/New Age artist, whom I first heard on Music Choice: Soundscapes. While Australis is clearly influenced by Vangelis, his compositions recall the film scores of Howard Shore and Danny Elfman, as well as the sonic palettes of Peter Gabriel and Seal. His bedrock of soothing electronica and techno atmospherics is threaded together with artful piano/keyboard work comparable to the classy stylings of Jim Brickman and George Winston. While every tune on this CD is brilliant, tracks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9 are exquisitely beautiful, haunting, and transforming.
Absolutely one of my favorite New Age albums!!
author: Jon RattenburyWhen I first heard the music of Australis I was amazed at how beautiful and thought provoking it was. It is music with so many layers and amazing soundscapes. It has been years since I actually bought a CD and believe me when I say Lifegiving is one of the best I have heard in a long time!!!
Absolutely euphoric music that stirs the soul, making you want to express yoruse
author: Lisa SangiorgioThe music is euphoric and yet has a nice beat that enables one to feel wonderful inside and want to express themselves. I do believe music is one of the keys to the soul and Australis does touch the soul for those who feel an attraction to it, including me.
A soundtrack for anyone's life!
author: Randall WrightThought-provoking, serene, beautiful. The melodies created by this band are unique and timeless. If you like Amethystium or Mythos, you must have this CD. Repeat for effect: YOU MUST HAVE THIS CD!
