Inside the saxophone and the clarinet

Josh Plotner takes Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and turns it into a one-man saxophone orchestra. Playing soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones, each with a Syos mouthpiece, Josh layers every part of the track into a bright, fun, and energetic performance. Complete with clever video editing and an improvised solo that steals the show, it’s a joyful reminder of how versatile both the saxophone and Syos mouthpieces can be.

A closer look at the double lip embouchure, how it works, why it faded from use, and what it can reveal about your playing today.

Leo Dale is no stranger to musical exploration. The Australian saxophonist blends jazz, Indian classical, and ambient soundscapes across projects like Mantra LIVE, Raga Saga, and From Now OM. In this video, he plugs in with a Tivon Pennicott #7 Syos mouthpiece and records a fully improvised jam with Quinn Knight and Moses Carr. The result? A slow-build session that moves from spiritual to groovy to melancholic, with no notes written in advance.
