Consists of speakers... each playing a single human voice

This sounds like the Janet Cardiff installation at the Whitechapel Gallery, which was on when Momus played there in June 2003; it was a version of Spem In Alium, performed dead straight, through 40 speakers in a big circle: again, one voice to a speaker. But the bits between the performances, about five minutes of the choir chattering, were quite creepy - it was as if everyone in the room was talking - and probably about you - and only when you opened your eyes did you realise that they weren't, and that there was hardly anyone there anyway.
