D Rothon - Lonesome Echoes (Awful Lonesome edition) - expanded download edition of his Clay Pipe 3" CD release

The origins of its name lost in the mists of time, the village of Lonesome emerged in the 19th century from the swampy, isolated lands between Streatham Vale and Mitcham Common. By the early 1900s intrepid reporters were already speculating on whether the place was mere myth. The intervening years saw the rapid rise and fall of Lonesome. Its prospects as a desirable place to live were compromised by the combined fragrances of piggeries plus chemical, fireworks and gas mantle factories – which would undoubtedly have overpowered the sweeter aromas from the nearby lavender fields of Mitcham. It also gained a reputation as a haunt of footpads, vagabonds and cutpurses. A failed development by one “Squire Blake” of aspirational middle class villas – which became known as Blake's Folly – helped cement Lonesome’s reputation as a ghost town. Now long subsumed into suburbia, aside from the odd street and building name little trace remains of Lonesome. Tracks 2, 6, 8 and 10 were issued as an EP by Clay Pipe Music. The remaining tracks are also taken from the Lonesome-inspired sessions. David Rothon: Omnichord, pedal steel, theremin, keyboards, Bentley Rhythm Ace, digital drum programming, acoustic, electric, baritone and bass guitars, Stylophone, percussion, Indian harmonium, harmonica, melodica, banjo Special thanks to… Ed Deegan: drums on tracks 3 and 6 Johanna Warren: flute on tracks 8 and 9 Artwork by Frances Castle (as featured on the original Lonesome Echoes CD)

Sore & Steal - “Staying Home, April 73″ Invisible Soundtracks Macro 3 Song recorded in 1999. Compilation released in 2000. Ambient / Post-Rock / Experimental

Sore & Steal were a short-lived British duo consisting of David Rothon and Ian Masters. Masters’ career began in a successful alt rock shoegaze band called Pale Saints. In 1993, he departed the group and then involved himself in a handful of indie / alternative and post-rock projects, before donning the moniker I’m Sore. As I’m Sore, he released a number of jarring abstract noise experiments.

In 1999, Masters joined with Rothon to make lo-fi and ambient space rock tracks. One of those songs, “Staying Home, April 73,” is on a definite ambient tip, and would appear on Invisible Soundtracks Macro 3, a compilation of leftfield ambient type of stuff.

Although this track was recorded in 1999, it sounds like it could be from decades prior, like an instrumental interlude from a lesser-known Pink Floyd album or something. Masters and Rothon convey a cold and contemplative melancholy with this minimal piece, supplying long and ringing, slowly decaying guitar synths. The synths have a slight waviness to them and sometimes sport a small and unpredictable upward or downward inflection. As the track progresses, t he guitar synths are paired with serene, yet haunting reverberations from something that sounds like a decrepit and squeaky metallic slide whistle. Quite interesting when the remnants of the guitar synth and the reverb from the whistling collide and intertwine.

For those late night hours when you need to do some real, hard soul-searching introspection.

Belated birthday wishes to you my dear.

Our beloved local annual Festival started yesterday so I am late.

Hope you are all doing well. Especially your brother and bandmate N. I can’t imagine how slightly terrifying it is to find what gives you joy and an income being temporarily lost or at risk. Good health vibes seems to be flooding in and hopefully all that collective energy does some good. Add mine too.

The above had us entertained for quite a while yesterday, my friends thought that the local musician David Rothon and pedal steel aficionado was comedy legend Alan Davies making an appearance on our main stage yesterday. After a lot of discussion and some extensive googling we found out this was not the case, however I can see why the assumption was made from a distance. David did resemble a slight more shabby, serious looking Alan from 20 or so metres away.

Take care of all of ye and much love sent your way. ❤️ x

Cardboard Rocketship is the first single from my album Sweet Songs of Survival (due out autumn/winter 2019). You can also view/listen, alongside my back catalogue, at www.monc.net. The animation was made by the brilliant Edie Morris - www.designbyedie.com. 

Cardboard Rocketship recounts an unforgettable and possibly pivotal moment in my childhood. When I was 4 years old, I sat cross-legged on the living room floor inside the rocketship my Dad and I had made from old cardboard boxes. My Dad handed me his headphones - enormous 1970’s style ones and I placed them on my little head. He then dropped the soundtrack to '2001 Space Odyssey' on vinyl. Suddenly I hear this amazing sound…the opening theme (Richard Strauss’s "Thus Spake Zarathustra”) and it just blew me away! I think it was the first time I’d heard an orchestral piece on headphones. I spent the next 45 minutes sitting there in another world. I believe that’s when I decided I wanted to live in that world forever and create music. ‘Cardboard Rocketship’ is the story of that special moment in time. 

I always try and retain that feeling of wonder, freedom and hope throughout my work and my life in general. It’s not always easy to remember that feeling as we ‘grow up’ but it is, in essence, who we are. I hope this song helps you, in your own ways, to feel that…stay positive! 

 I had some very special mates add their musical talent and soul to this song - here’s what they/we all played: 

 Vocals, guitars, basses, keys, percussion: Monc 

Female Vocals: Donna Taylor & Jackie Simley 

Pedal Steel: David Rothon

D. Rothon - Lonesome Echoes - new EP from Clay Pipe Music is out today, and it is gorgeous (of course)

Mini CD available here: claypipemusic.greedbag.com Digital-only pre-order from Bandcamp. After the sell out success of the first series of Mini-CDs, Clay Pipe kicks off the second series with D.Rothons 'Lonesome Echoes'. D. Rothon’s third solo release for Clay Pipe, Lonesome Echoes, is a selection of four beautiful melodic instrumentals, featuring pedal steel, Omnichord, theremin, flute and live drums – and inspired by the long-lost south London village of Lonesome. “My curiosity about Lonesome started years ago when I noticed the name on the map in the London A to Z, not far from where I grew up. It seemed such an unlikely name. But it wasn't until recently that I discovered its slightly odd history…” The origins of its name lost in the mists of time, the village of Lonesome emerged in the 19th century from the swampy, isolated lands between Streatham Vale and Mitcham Common. By the early 1900s intrepid reporters were already speculating on whether the place was mere myth. The intervening years saw the rapid rise and fall of Lonesome. Its prospects as a desirable place to live were compromised by the combined fragrances of piggeries plus chemical, fireworks and gas mantle factories – which would undoubtedly have overpowered the sweeter aromas from the nearby lavender fields of Mitcham. It also gained a reputation as a haunt of footpads, vagabonds and cutpurses.  A failed development by one “Squire Blake” of aspirational middle class villas – which became known as Blake's Folly – helped cement Lonesome’s reputation as a ghost town. Now long subsumed into suburbia, aside from the odd street and building name little trace remains of Lonesome.  Composed, Recorded and mixed by David Rothon at The Lonesome Depot, Crystal Palace Drums recorded by Ed Deegan at gizzard studios

D Rothon & O Cherer - Estuary English - speaking of Clay Pipe Music, here’s one I missed in January 

Estuary English – a collaboration between Clay Pipe artists Oliver Cherer (Gilroy Mere) and D Rothon, and released as a limited edition CD to coincide with a showcase for the label at London’s Cafe Oto – started out as a conversation about Alan Lomax, Harry Smith and Smithsonian Folkways but it soon mutated into something that felt a lot closer to home in mood and theme – despite the dominance of electric and pedal steel guitars in these spare, evocative instrumental pieces. For Ollie they have a particular resonance: “Having grown up near the Severn Estuary, I have always been drawn to the strange, ever-shifting, no-mans land watery landscape of these places. They’re simultaneously tranquil and charged with hazard and treachery so are both beautiful and frightening. These pieces are an attempt to sketch the essence of these muddy, alien wetlands.” The two musicians worked remotely on the tracks and, as David explains, “It felt like a very instinctive process. A lot of them started with Ollie sending me something he’d done, and I tried not to overthink my parts – some of them are basically improvised first takes. It was a case of deciding on an approach and then going for it.” All music is by David Rothon and Oliver Cherer and is performed by them too David Rothon: Pedal steel, Omnichord, theremin Oliver Cherer: Electric guitar, voice, synthesiser Antony Ryan: Mastering Frances Castle: Design

We are also preparing a video for title track off Islets of Langerhans album here is a still from one part... This will be coming out soon.

Plus future gigs being planned at Dash The Henge and other venues. News to come.

[rookeryensemble]

Since Alison passed away in 2020 we had to go through many stages of grief with thought and process which is still on going. But the idea of playing live again was always an intention as was completing the Islets of Langerhans album. The initial gigs in coming back through 2022 were full of a new energy with a new member K whom later dropped out for abit to concentrate on other projects. The last gig we did with him was the Alison Tribute event with Annabella Maneljuk also joining us on stage. The line up shifted again doing some solo bits and pieces then the build to do album launch. We were looking at working with a classically trained pianist whom also improvised for this. We didnt have to wait that long and found someone who lived locally as in Hilary Robinson. The live album here in link is the recording of part of our set we did with Hilary.

This is a recording of Rookery Ensemble performing live at the Islets of Langerhans Album Launch that took place on Saturday 25 March 2023 at The Book and Record Bar in West Norwood South London.

Quote about our live sound from another gig at Crystal Palace Food Market from one of the stall holders - "It's not selling music. It's the kind of music that makes you rise up above capitalism and realise you don't need money. Quite hard to sell salami to. It's the kind of music that makes you forget who you are, where you are and what day it is."

Rookery Ensemble on this recording are

George E Harris - Voice, Electronics, Typewriter, Flugelhorn, Melodica, Glockenspiel, Kalimba Loops Hilary Robinson - Piano, Keyboards, Melodica Erik Moore - Bass Guitar, Electronics, Percussion Mark Hill - Electronics and Radio Effects David Rothon - Pedal Steel, Omnichord, Drone Box, Melodica, Percussion

Recorded and Engineered by Jono Podmore / Kumo Thanks To Michael Johnson and Staff at Book and Record Bar in West Norwood and speical thanks to Woodland Chaos for performing the support slot on day.

Also Thanks to all those in Audience that came along on night.
