Lifegiving
Lifegiving (2005) is the music album debut by Australis. Album history. "Lifegiving" was produced and recorded in Utah, United States, and was independently released by Australis on May 30, 2005.By early 2006 "Lifegiving" was licensed and re-released in Southern Asia by the Orange Music record label.In August 2006 two tracks from this album were included in the New Vibes Music's compilation Echoes of Tuvalu. The tracks included were "Conciliation" and "The Sound of Hope". That same month this compilation reached the top position in the New Age charts, according to New Age Reporter.As a result  of his collaboration for "Echoes of Tuvalu", the Italian magazine "New Age Music & New Sounds" published an article about Australis in October 2006 (issue № 166), and included the same two tracks from "Lifegiving" in the corresponding compilation compact disc they release with every issue. Album overview. "Lifegiving" is a compilation of ten musical tracks of varied styles including Ambient music, World music, Electronic music, Ethnic music, Symphonic music and Soundtrack. One of the main characteristics of this album is the contrasting styles between the tracks. This feature tends to create an impression of surprise in the listener as each  track switches to a different style than that from the previous track, developing a whole new musical landscape. The end result is a fresh, stimulating and entertaining experience. Although one of the tracks on this album had a collaborator (Alvaro Aguayo, playing the charango in "Sacred Earth"), all the tracks were composed, arranged, produced and recorded by Australis. This album appears to be available physically through online music retail stores like Amazon.com, CD Baby, etc. Additionally, it appears to be available digitally through digital music retailers like the iTunes Store, MSN Music, Rhapsody, etc. For reviews of "Lifegiving", please see  the External Links section below.
