This morning in the shower I let my imagination run wild, 
inspired by all the feedback from the list. The faint of 
heart should delete this now!

How about setting up multiple rotating speakers (maybe 
three), with voltage controlled spin rates and voltage 
controlled parametric equalisation on their inputs (band 
pass with variable frequency/resonance). Mount these in a 
sealed box with resonant enclosures for each one feeding 
into a chamber with a rotating microphone, also voltage 
controlled spin rate. Add some other resonant chambers 
branching off with rotary chopper wheels at their 
entrances, also voltage controlled. Run the whole thing off 
of a bank of LFOs in combination with whatever other 
control voltages you want to input. Boggles the mind!

Of course, all the mechanical noise from the thing could be 
an effect in of itself.  ;-)

Good thing I am on vacation next week, I think I need it 
badly!
