Australasia is Italian multi-instrumentalist, Gian Spalluto.
What is referred to as the 'blackened post-rock' of Notturno, is his second full-length recording.
It is also billed as a musical soundtrack to "the night side of nature".
Nine one-word titles like Nebula,Invisible and Amnesia suggest a preoccupation with all things obscure, hidden or lost.
The sound is impressively big considering this is a solo project with the guitar being the prominent instrument. Only the four minute piano-based title track provides a quieter, more reflective variation on the formula.
By now, there are so many albums following this kind of cinematic, rock-instrumental approach and nothing about this one stands out as better or worse than the rest.
