In solidarity for Gaza, we end the Good Morning TOUR 2025 with a special video from the encore of our concert at the Frontiere Jazz Festival (Italy) last month.

As artists, we believe the opportunity a stage can offer to give voice to music that listen to the cries of a people in absolute suffering. We do so with the song “Cosmic Nirvana” an anthem that calls for freedom and peace for all the world’s wars.

2025 was a significant year for Pericopes. The reception and recognition received with Good Morning World; major new productions; the conclusion of a tour of over 40 concerts in Italy and Europe, from Milan to Berlin, Paris, Munich, Nuremberg, Frankfurt, and other capitals. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we thank all of YOU once again for supporting and accompanying us in this important artistic transformation after 11 years of activity. We have new music and much more coming soon.

Peace!

After a well-deserved summer break, it’s time for the III° part of the Good Morning TOUR

After the main capitals Paris, Berlin and Milan, it’s now the turn of other cities as Munich, Nurimberg, the Stuttgart and Frankfurt area, as well as some Italian events including the prestigious Jazz Festival of Padova and Parma Frontiere. Let’s start this coming week with Innsbruck, Austria.

2025 has been a year full of concerts and prizes. Bringing Good Morning World live to clubs and festivals across Italy and Europe has paid off tremendously, especially given the love this new show has received. Pericopes has been called a tireless “band on the road,” although after 11 years of touring that euphoria of reuniting with our audience and continually surprising new ones still remains.

The tour is supported by MAECI (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) and MIDJ (Italian Association of Jazz Musicians)

See you on stage in the coming weeks!

“Pericopes Talk” is a series of mini interviews directed by Lisa Marchiani in which each of us tells our own story, personal anecdotes, reflections on life in music, nerdy technical details and of course the conceptual realization of the successful album Good Morning World. Enjoy!

Today April 30th during the International Jazz Day celebration, we are glad to release the VIDEOCLIP of “Assange” recorded and filmed exclusively at the Ventottoquarti Recording Studio. This is a special edition of the song dedicated to the important activist, an emotional moment captured by eye of Lisa Marchiani and the expertly curated sound of Michele Morari.

Happy International Jazz Day to everyone!

We are delighted with this recognition among the BEST ART VINYL 2024

This award repays the artistic choices made by demonstrating how visual art – in addition to completing the music of this album – goes beyond the simple packaging of a product, bypassing the self-referentialism that sometimes simplifies covers.
This image speaks of all of us, of today’s humanity, in its hopes and fears.

⭐️Thanks to the author Claudio Allia for the visionary creation

⭐️Thanks to Roberto Morelli (who even eats vinyl here!) and Studio ArteImmagine for the titanic work and sleepless nights in making it available

⭐️Thanks to the distributors and the precious vinyl stores that welcomed it with thoughtful passion

⭐️Thanks to all of you who voted for us and to those who managed to get a copy online or autographed at concerts

⭐️Thanks to Best Art Vinyl for having selected us among so many works and for carrying forward the cultural importance of this initiative

We are happy to announce that we are resuming the Good Morning TOUR with a live broadcast on the national broadcaster RAI Radio 3 (Milan, IT) on Saturday 15 February at 5:30 PM. We will continue north with a series of concerts from Berlin to Paris, and then conclude in some important Italian festivals before the summer.

The tour is supported by MAECI (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) and MIDJ (Italian Association of Jazz Musicians)

See you on stage in the coming weeks!

2025 has opened in the best possible way with Good Morning World in the double chart as:

 ⭐️ “Record of the Year” by TOP JAZZ of the prestigious national magazine Musica Jazz (Italy)

⭐️ “Best Jazz Album of 2024” by Jazz-Fun’s (Germany)

An important result that we wanted to share by thanking you for the support shown in these months of promotion and concerts. For us this means a lot and goes beyond artistic gratification.

Thank you all

A short videoclip preview of “Liturgico”, a composition from the new album and inspired by an ancient chorale that celebrates the rituality of all peoples, a moment of communion of a humanity lost in the arcane and vain search for a universal faith.

The matter of Existence at the center – and on the margins – of cosmicity is an important reflection as well as a message of peace in such a delicate historical moment.

We are excited to start the Good Morning TOUR!

In this first one we will perform in northern Italy with about ten dates in the clubs of the main cities, Milan, Bologna, Padua. From February we will continue in Germany/France/Austria touching Berlin, Munich, Paris and still other gigs in Italy before the summer. 2024 also coincides with ten years of Pericopes tour and we want to celebrate it with this new live show, the result of a concept album of reflections on humanity in one of the most significant periods of social transition in the history of progress.

Recently broadcast on radio in Canada, USA, Australia, UK, Germany, Poland, France, Italy, “Good Morning World” has also been positively received by rock/pop/classical and audiophile magazines. Check it out.

Next month Album is also pre-orderable in special edition LP on the Bandcamp platform.

See you on stage in the next few days!

We are very glad to announce the latest single “Rue Sedaine Métavers” from our upcoming album “GOOD MORNING WORLD”  out worldwide on September 27^th

LISTEN TO THE NEW SINGLE HERE

Rue Sedaine Métavers explores places and times in which the sense of one’s own reality is distorted by self-referentiality, a social habit that intoxicates and eludes our authenticity, engaged in an obsessive desire to show only what others need to know about us. The composition is part of a concept album that explores the current theme of the post-human with narratives based on contrast, reflection, denunciation, cry, prayer, through imaginary worlds and dialogues between characters that flow beyond the chronology of time.

The song has been included on UK podcast Bob Osborne’s Different Noise.
You can listen to the full episode HERE

Waiting for the album release, we wish you all the best enjoying these last weeks of summer.
 
We love you all!
