If you're referring to my previous post, I'm not picking up on any glitch you may be hearing.
The Distisec stuff certainly has a lot more glitchy stuff, but that's not so much a product of influence so much as I see it as flirting with abstract noises and turning identifiable sources into something completely different. It's a hit and miss affair, as the trick is taking that abstraction and focusing it into a proper song instead of a hollow trick.
I'm still very intrigued in the potential of delay effect modulation, automating wet/dry, feedback, and step values. I can use it to make a neat, amorphous effect that seems to shift beats around in their sequencing just slightly enough for it to be recognizable while being somewhat "sloppy". Along with the chorus/flanger device, I've gotten effects that make it sound like the original audio source is spawning unto itself, imploding, unfolding, et cetera. I just don't know how to put a handle on it yet.
ie. "Photoshift Hole" WIP loop
Eventually, I'll recognize I've hit a ceiling in Reason. I really want to learn a program like Reaktor, where I can start constructing my own instruments and ensembles. But it has a steep learning curve, and I've never succeeded with forcing myself to learn something I don't quite need yet. All of my progression has been a series of fortunate stumbles that have come naturally without thinking too much.
