Ever Ascending Melody
I once heard of a melody that, when played, sounds like it is always ascending. Is that a thing? Please explain.

Shepard tones (as noted before) are an example.

Basically, one plays 12 tones (fundamental and 11 overtones) for each note. Eleven of the tones move up a semitone and the other one moves down 11 semitones.
