I decided that I really wanted to play around with rhythms in the speech for this Junto. I listened to the track by itself first, then in the context of the story, and decided I still wanted to stick with that first idea.
I pulled three copies of the whole track into Live, and then processed one copy with multiple beat repeat processors (Airpusher and Semisubtle), followed by Puremagnetic's Driftmaker plugin, with Parse and Drift cranked way up). The second I used only Driftmaker on, with Chop and Drift pushed to their max).
I then experimented with various offset triggerings of the track and at last hit on restarting the beat repeat track partway through its playback as what I wanted. Because I am *still* a Live noob, I ended up routing it to Audio Hijack to record the different takes.
Driftmaker is unpredictable as to what it will choose to do and when, so I "played" the clips multiple times in Live, capturing the results in Audio Hijack, until I had a final take that obsessed about analysts and buttons and relatives, and captured the surreal feeling that the story had for me.
