Wendy,
Try Idle Chatter by Paul Lansky (or any of the sequels). It is a fantastic, rhythmic piece of vocal manipulation in the electroacoustic vein. Wonderful music. You can find out more about it and the follow-up pieces at:

Best of luck,
-John
"This will be our response to violence:
to make music more intensely
more beautifully
more devotedly
than ever before."
