Here's a neat video I came across of the Salaputia Brass playing the movement “EWAME” from the new album “Sounds of Evolution.” They're all playing into mouthpieces with cameras inside them so you can see their lips while playing.

It's neat to see the different mouthpiece placements of the different players. Most brass musicians will place the mouthpiece with more upper lip inside, but some players do better with more lower lip inside. If you watch them all closely you might be able to see which players are probably upstream and which are downstream embouchure type players.

Plus, they play really well!

Fascinating. One size doesn't fit all.
