Jean-Claude Risset (Mar 13, 1938 in Le Puy, France) is a French composer of electronic music. He is a former student of André Jolivet and former coworker of Max Matthews at Bell Labs.

After the discrete Shepard scale Risset created a version of the scale where the steps between each tone are continuous, and it is appropriately called the continuous Risset scale or Shepard-Risset glissando. He has also created a similar effect with rhythm in which tempo seems to increase or decrease endlessly.
