“Live at Studio B” is a live concert film and full-length album recorded in July 2023 in front of a studio audience. Recorded in a single take at WQED in Pittsburgh, PA, it is the culmination of 6 years of genre-defying live performances and experimentation. The group uses the emergent musicality of improvisation to create vital and compelling musical landscapes. With electronic processing on all instruments, Bombici creates an extraordinary sonic mosaic and invites listeners to suspend their musical expectations. The album showcases the formidable talent of saxophonists Ben Opie and Patrick Breiner, guitarist Colter Harper, and electronic musician Jesse Stiles, backed by bassist Ryan McMasters and percussionists Rich Randall and Jonathan Heins. Their repertoire draws from global folk and pop music interpreted through American jazz and rock traditions. They’re known for expertly navigating the unfamiliar time signatures of Balkan folk songs and dances in a style that sometimes nods to New York’s late-70s no-wave scene and other times evinces tenderness and care. The album’s first single “Harmattan” transcends its Ghanaian funereal roots to become a visionary statement of hope and progress.

The concert film is produced and directed by electronic musician and artist Jesse Stiles with cinematography and VFX by multimedia artist Scott Andrew.
