You really got some great mileage outta that sample! Love those textures
Woah.... those voices though the vocoder / pitch stretch are spooky material. Fresh stuff mate!!

really unique, stunning use of vocal manipulation
The voices bending always makes me smile. Very fun!
there, is no, reason, why...
Jim, nice work. I love what you can do with voices.
Excellent voice work here!

Cool stuff!!
Thanks all! No vocoder -- moved the timing markers in Ableton and used re-pitch mode.
whoa.... a groovy kind of twister for time markers... excellent!
This is really weird-good. I'm really enjoying how unsettling it all is.
Granular? Time stretched? Sounds really great, really!!!
Glad to see you back in WB for another year, Jim 
Great, uneasy stuff--and up to your high standards! That you're doing it with warp markers...that shows a level of commitment. In the time stretch algorithm, I'm hearing some stuff that reminds me of the striation method in Tidal, with which I played a bit this past fall.
Very nice. The way you've situated what should be a disarming sentiment squarely into uncanny valley with the artificial voices and then proceeded to hack at them and disfigure is wonderfully menacing. It's especially effective pitted against the very stable E minor progression. And the limited source material is definitely a thing I'm very into in my own work. I like it.
pretty good

Awesome stuff, Jim.
Jim's back to insert psilocybin into my brain. Glad you're back.

OH yes -fab!
Great work Jim! Nice to see you back
Thank you guys! I'm very happy to be back.
Great to see you back here jim! And who isnt afraid for another whirl in this cranival of demented dreams
Freaking fantastic. I find your interest in tonality really fascinating, given how far away from the source you take your material. Wonderful stuff.

Compelling stuff. No other words to describe it!
Thanks! It's a pleasure to be amongst such talented company.

I may be married to tonality, but I do cheat occasionally...
very cool what you did with the voices, thanks for sharing your method with that too!
hehehe
