What DAW and sampler/granulizer are you using? Are you syncing the grain parameters to an LFO/envelope/step sequencer synced to the the BPM of the DAW (i.e. not running "free")? The effects in the track I heard can be done using the per-step repeat function in Geist and in S t u t t e r Edit (obviously), Alchemy, Ableton. [I haven't given Granite a go yet as their website was down when I tried to get the demo.] I don't think there is any need to go too deep into a programming language at this point since their are tools that do it for you (albeit that cost $200).
[I read a BT interview where he was talking about nano-quantizing the sound of scuba tank bubbles and how he was going to write a book about it. Personally I can't STAND the sound of unquantitized bubbles. There were some birds outside of my window the other day chirping out of time in some psuedo-polyrhythmic jibber-jabber and I seriously had to put in ear plugs.]
