I perform live sets of all original tunes.
I control filters and grain delays with an eight triangular-sided custom wooden box, housing an industrial joystick, so the eye can see what the ear can hear.

PADRE OE - Jacob's Divine - (Manjumasi)

What do you people want to do with that fire... eh?

Bar.ba & Padre - Lava Witness - (Sum Over Histories  09-08-24)

Here in it's full faced form, with significantly more moodiness and diversity than the short attention span edit, La Distanza recalls Italo Calvino recalling the time when the moon was much closer to Earth than it is now

Bar.ba & Padre - Clockwork Universe - (Unsouth 18-04-25)

Bar.ba & Padre - Perikoa - (Sum Over Histories  09-08-24)

Recorded 100% live... unfortunately direct to mp3, DM me to download for better sound quality ... ALL ORIGINALS. Collaborations with Bar.ba, Luis León, Timo Chinala and solo works. Much filter and grain delay jamming on the custom joystick controller, incense burning, arms waving, bell ringing (in the silent part in the middle). Witness the tranquility energy paradox.

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby LIVE @ Night Zoo 02-12-23

A mountain top forest in the north east of Taiwan hosts an annual community gathering of great hospitality and style.

Mostly dipping into a vast 2023 archive of soon to be released tunes made with Italian individualist Davide 'Bar.ba' De Michele.
Here presented exactly as it happened in pristine 24bit audio. Every tune is its own distinct world. Made to be familiar without cliché.

The tranquility energy paradox is my distant, unattainable goal. Old knowledge from indigenous roots and pre 20th century musical forms. A party music for the 2020s which brings inspiration and peace with its animal energy. An attempt to access forces way bigger than us; to try to provide glimpses of who we are and where we find ourselves.

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby LIVE @ Wonky Forest 31-03-24

Champagne synths on peach vinyl. Consume 24h per day

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby - Beautiful Lies - Rawax (original series) 031

A beguiling tale of ritual and redemption. Ceremonial grade.

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby - Spellcasting - Rawax (original series) 031

A beat at the beginning and end to make life easier for DJs and a good way of mixing in the original mix if you graduate to the full melodic power...

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby - Beautiful Lies - Beat Mix - Rawax (original series) 031

A raw beat driven version which can be used to lead into the original

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby - Spellcasting - Beat Mix - Rawax (original series) 031

Bar.ba & Padre - Mental Elf (extended) - (Unsouth 18-04-25)

Bar.ba & Padre - Have You Heard Me Talk About Solitude? - (Sum Over Histories 09-08-24)

Midnight, high above Taipei I did this show for the great Temple Meltdown crew. I always farm the tranquility / energy paradox, but this set gradually focuses increasingly on inner peace, the currency of the location, right up to the period of silence near the end when I played my bell live with no microphones to hear it, allowing it to decay to silence each time. Following that, the final two numbers are my latest reinventions with Barba: Supine Palm and Because One Must.

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby LIVE @ Temple Meltdown 25-08-24

Just in time for the Asian Mid Autumn Full Moon Festival, some silly sui generis nuovo house from the cosmic duo who are ripping holes in 2024 spacetime

Bar.ba & Padre - La Distanza della Luna - (Unsouth 13-09-24)

Bar.ba & Padre - Selva - (Isolate 02-05-25)

Bar.ba & Padre - Mitosis - (Isolate 02-05-25)

Beginning with 3 unreleased collaborations with @luisleon, continuing with my work with @barbamusik, more luis and solo works. Some of the main themes of this performance are missing (they were mostly in the first half) but you can still hear lots of little layered quotes and cross fertilisation ... Enjoy!

Pete 'Padre' Lazonby LIVE (2nd hour) @ Rabbit Hole 22-02-25

Padre, Bar.ba & Oe - Holding Hands We're Feeling Power - Radio Edit - (Aterral 14-03-25)

Bar.ba & Padre - Mental Elf - (Unsouth 28-03-25)

Ski Instructor

Padre Oe - Ski Instructor - (Oleeva)

Sweet Transport

Padre Oe - Sweet Transport - (All Day I Dream)

Episode 017 of the Manjumasi Podcast presents a very special live set from PADRE (@padreuk). Deeply musical and richly detailed original material from an accomplished producer. Featuring original productions from PADRE (@padreuk), PADRE OE (@padreoe), and PACHINALE (@timochinala), some of which are available on the Baby Steps & Grand Gestures EP - available now on vinyl: http://bit.ly/padre-vinyl-mamav004

In his own words, PADRE aka Pete Lazonby describes the set as follows:

"In November 2020, doing a show or being able to go out clubbing was only possible in a few countries including Taiwan. Just 80 miles from China, an island of 23.5 million people has had fewer than 1000 Covid cases and only 7 deaths in total.

PADRE (live) @ A Big Hug in Taipei, recorded live on November 21st 2020, is a set which plays on its contrasts. When the mood changes everyone feels the shift. This creates unity in the room. Why not maximise those occasions? Doing so with good continuity is easier with a live set than DJing."
