Withering Zithering is the name given to Ed Devane's zither music project. Working in tandem with his more rhythmic work, this music has until quite recently remained unheard to all but its creator.

Whereas most of the music released under the name Ed Devane is relatively noisy, rhythmic, and machine-like, Withering Zithering is lush, ambient and organic. Using a home made zither and hands, metal bars and sticks to manipulate this source, Devane shows a side to his music only hinted at on his official releases.

This music is predominantly made in the evenings, in the hour or two before bedtime. This sense of calm is reflected in pieces such as "Slipstreams" and "Clear".

An EP and various public appearances are planned for 2011.
