​Wise Music Australia Acquires
Louis Tillett Catalogue in
​Exclusive Global Deal 
​

Wise Music Australia is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Louis Tillett's extensive back catalogue and future works in an exclusive global music publishing deal.

One of Sydney’s most gifted and exceptional songwriters, nominated by the NFSA - National Film and Sound Archive of Australia as a “Priority Heritage Artist”, Louis Tillett provided a distinctive and influential presence on the Australian underground music scene throughout the late 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s, leading groups like Wet Taxis, Paris Green and the Aspersion Caste. His impressive career has seen him be invited to collaborate with Leonard Cohen and Brian Eno, he has worked with Charlie Owen, Ed Kuepper, Tex Perkins, Don Walker and Brett Myers. Nick Cave called him “a pioneer that has been an inspiration to many of us”. Often the subject of urban music myth, his live and recorded performances have inspired and informed such artists as Kurt Cobain, The Flaming Lips and The White Stripes.

Louis Tillett. With Mick Harvey. 2011.
In Europe he is now recognized as a significant singer/song writer, capable of rendering audiences spellbound in rapt attention with just his piano and his voice, while ​in Australia he has an enviable reputation as a bandleader and catalyst of a succession of inventive and uninhibited groups, equally capable of driving audiences into frenzies of excitement."
John McPharlin 2003

A man who comes across as a bearer of great beauty as well as a harbourer of many tortured souls,
Sydney’s 
​Louis Tillett is the
​Nick Cave or Scott Walker 
that you may never hear
and you will have ​missed out
dearly because of that."

This website has been the culmination of many years of producing Independent Music, while achieving the rare feat of maintaining ownership of my entire musical catalogue.

I have always hoped to one day put it all under one roof and allow it be presented with some meaning, as an entire body of work.  With thanks to the support of the National Film and Sound Archives of Australia to collect and curate my material as a "Priority Heritage Artist", I present this website as it's own "Living Archive".

  There are, as yet, thousands of pages of Archival Press,​ TV, Bootlegs, Clips, Posters, Photos, and other Ephemera yet to be uploaded and presented.
​I would like to make this site as comprehensive as possible for the purposes of the
National Film and Sound Archives of Australia
​
and for the interests of everyone interested in my music, and the cultural history of the times in which it has unfolded.
