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).
