Formally established as a musical presence in August 2004, Australis represents the never-ending quest for the acoustics of emotions, the rhythms of passion and the unique melodies of the human condition. The name "Australis" means "Southern" or "from the South" in ancient Latin, and symbolizes the region of the planet where the project's founder experienced his first own emotions. Constantly experimenting in the never ending universe of sound and acoustics, Australis compiles in this album a unique mixture of styles and genres, all linked together by his distinctive acoustic signature.

The interbreeding of sound and spirit, Australis (winner of the Morpheus Music 2004 Best New Independent Artist award) journeys through new age, world, electronica and filmic genres; creating unique landscapes where heart and melody interweave seamlessly.

Adrift, Australis' fourth physical album, brings together twelve brand new and original musical expeditions to the uncharted lands where emotions roam free; gathered in a compilation three years in the making. Composed and produced during a difficult period of his life, many of the tracks in this release have been born from real situations and frames of mind. The album's title, a hint by itself, invites exploration of the susprisingly vast universe nested within the heart.
