When they have run out of breath, the performers can restart over again for as long as possible; overlapping, overtaking and the falling out of phase of the performers to one another are encouraged;

 

"Person 1 initiates the tone which is then followed by person 2. Person 2 runs out of breath and whistles again for a second time at a different pitch whilst person 1 is still on their first tone; person 1 matches the deviation with a portamento..."
