Two years after the release of his second album "The Gates of Reality", Australis' comes back with a powerful new production destined to carve its own place in the history of New Age music. "Sentient Genus", a brand new compilation of twelve original tracks, presents us with the age-old question: what makes us human?, and presents us with twelve unique answers that explore our species from several of its many angles. Intentions, emotions. Light and darkness. From what makes us feel proud to be human, to what should move us to be better; this new offering becomes a mirror into our own souls, a lens pointed at our existence. Constantly experimenting in the never ending universe of sound and acoustics, Australis compiles in this new album a unique mixture of styles and genres, all linked together by his distinctive acoustic signature. The result paints with always surprising brushes in the canvas of the ear, describing the contradicting complexities of the human mind and the ramifying depths of the human heart. You are personally invited to see our species from the eye of sound, to hear what human beings really are; to take conscience of what makes you human. Open your heart and follow the melodies as you rediscover your own nature. For more information and news, please visit Australis at www.australiscanticum.com
