Louise Terry
Louise Terry has cultivated a vibrant and multifaceted career encompassing electronic music producer, songwriter, performer, educator, festival programmer and youth worker. As a longstanding contributor to the Australian independent music scene, Louise has a prolific history of collaborations, festival appearances, tours and releases.
In 2000, Louise graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies. She went on to write songs and perform in several indie-pop bands; make numerous documentaries for the youth arts sector; and establish Straight Out Of Brisbane, multi-disciplinary emerging arts festival. She moved to Melbourne in 2003 to pursue video art, study Media Arts at RMIT and start experimental pop duo Flying Scribble.
In 2010 she launched her first solo electronic music project Brite Fight, sowing the seeds for the mercurial electronic aesthetic of Louise Terra to emerge in 2016. Under her near-namesake moniker, Louise Terra has launched multiple releases, multimedia projects and cross-art form collaborations, most notably with film-maker Rachel Feery in the production of a virtual-reality music video.
Louise participated in the highly coveted Electric Dreams Studios Professional Development Program for female composers in 2019 and has written original compositions in interdisciplinary collaborations that have premiered at Melbourne White Night and the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art.
Louise remains an ardent collaborator, having spent the last ten years as backing singer/dancer/alter ego Lemona Squeeze in the outrageous disco outfit Sugar Fed Leopards, is second half of dark electro duo Sawtooth, and recently collaborated on electronic music releases with some rare talents in regional Victoria. Louise currently resides in Central Victoria, is studying a masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is fascinated with the intersection of wellbeing and creativity.
