Look up the music of Eric Mandat, he's sure not to disappoint You can reach him at emandat@siu.edu He has a CD out called "The Extended Clarinet" that's well worth the $15. This will give you an idea as to the type of stuff that he does.

if you're really impatient to try something out... here is an easy multiphonic
finger low G (six fingers down and thumb)
put your left hand little finger on the C#/G# key
experiment with your airspeed and "voicing"- you should be able to get a chord that is middle C, top line F and the B above that.
another (harder) one to try (will need to blow very softly)
finger low E, and with your left hand index finger open the throat A key (while still closing the top hole)
this gets a very ghostly and beautiful chord but is quite tricky to "voice"
that's just a couple to try out

"New Directions for Clarinet" by Phillip Rehfeldt is an important book to have if you are interested in exploring "extended techniques."
The book includes multiphonics (and many fingering options), quarter tones (and many fingerings), and many more extended techniques, descriptions, instructions and advice on how to produce these techniques.
There are also examples of the techniques in the book taken from repertoire.

Shulamit Ran's "Monologue", Leslie Bassett's "Soliloquies" (sp?) Alain Fourchotte's "Concerto" (very extended technique, lots of multiphonics, glisses, quarter tones, etc.).

Thanks everybody!
The only one i'm familiar with now is Variants by William O'Smith. Give it a shot if you are interested in extended techniques.
