To be precise you push air with your cheeks while breathing with your
nose. A bit like trumpet players. Circular breathing is not easy to
do, and even if you can do it does not mean you can do it forever.
I made myself a didj and i get exhausted after a short while. Some
players (there are bands and all with tuned didj) can go on for hours!
In the digital domain i've had mixed results doing a didj with
csound, while with analog gear i've had very interesting results
with a Sequential circuits six-trak. In the case of Mr. Aphex,
he used a real didj sample modulated with an analog filter
(with a Sequential Circuit Studio 440).
