Those two techniques are my current favorite ones when it comes to design new sounds. Basically you can repeat the resampling as many times as you want, leading you deeper and deeper into new sounds.

The best of all: They are simple, but always lead to unexpected and custom sounds and I found they are fun to create.

After editing this video, I actually used this very sound that I created in this video to spark inspiration for a new track. So it seems like it works.

Hope this also works for your very own rominimal productions.
