Where is This
Where is This is my noise project that has been active since 2007. Spanning noise, harsh noise, pe, drone and HNW, there has been numerous releases since its first in 2009. The WiT Discogs page is regularly updated with any new releases. Also, regularly updated is the WiT Facebook page. There is a WiT Myspace, but I don’t really use it. At some point I’ll get around to setting up a WiT Bandcamp/Soundcloud.
Below is not a discography, but a chronology (lookit me being fancy) of the Where is This records spanning 2007 – 2010. AS MORE RECENT WORKS ARE FINALISED, THEY WILL BE ADDED TO THIS LIST (which was done for a zine, but remained unsused, so I thought I’d stick it up here).
