I've been thinking that I'd like to do a similar thing, that is, sample a bunch of strange vocal sounds/words and then mutate them to the point that they are unrecognizable so that they can be used as percussive effects. The only examples I can think of that come close to this are Kraftwerk's "Boing Boom Tschak", those laughing and wheezing samples on the Ventolin EP, and that karate stuff on _Salsa with Mesquite_. GD
