Nice guitar work.

Thanks everyone! Appreciated. As for how I created this track...
The heart of the setup is the Elektron Octatrack. An advanced sampler essentially. I have a feed of the Jim Jones speech running into it in realtime and I'm improvising guitar to it and adding another layer or two with sampler manipulations. The vocal glitch is created by messing with the sample start times. Pitch shifting and comb filter automations add to it.
The guitar has similar treatments. I think there may be a reverse guitar in there also. Crossfades of fx are also captured. Voila 
Oh, is THAT all...
Hehe.... yeah something like that The Octatrack requires many many hours of practice to get fluent with it. After the steep learning curve, it's quite a powerful tool. A very interesting bit of kit to have in the arsenal. The guitar improv is just fun once when you've been playing for so long. Do you play an instrument Jim?
Yes, cello. Although not at public performance level.
Nice! A great instrument.
