Somewhat similar end result, but not produced in the same way.

Also, as I recall, the original Shepard tones where actually static, 
but as you played notes up and down the scale they never arrived at a 
higher or lower octave. I think pitch glide effect was developed by 
Risset on the basis of Roger Shepard's work.

The first time I heard Shepard/Risset tones was in Jim Tenney's "For 
Ann (Rising)" in 1976 (the piece was made a Bell Labs in 1969).
