Circular breathing is a technique enabling the wind instrumentalist to play virtually endless tones and phrases without the necessity of interrupting the sounds produced while inhaling.
Such an "infinite" stream of air can be achieved by combining normal pulmonary respiration with temporarily storing air in the cheeks while simultaneously inhaling through the nose.
