I'd go along with the idea of building a VCF rather than a VCO.  VCOs are pretty boring and don't really contribute much to the overall picture - they're just a wee box that goes "beep" at somewhere within 10% of the correct frequency.  VCFs actually shape the sound, and if you build one you can get started right away filtering and vandalising other audio sources.
