Software to create glitchy video synced to sound input

Hey all. This is kind of an odd question, but I had an idea after playing a show the other day. For years now, during my sets I setup a video projector to play videos behind me to add effect. I basically grabbed a bunch of short clips from various sci-fi, horror, or martial arts movies, and randomly mix them together in windows movie maker to create a glitchy looking video that looks kinda cool while I'm playing dubstep or dnb.
I'm wondering, is there some sort of software that would create this type of effect based on a live sound input? The idea being, say I'm playing a video clip, it would be rad if the video would glitch (i.e. stutter, repeat, static, distort) based on a live sound input from Ableton or some such. Does that make sense?

Here's an example that's close to what I'm thinking:

probably you wanna check out some VJ software - what you are after is pretty simple.
check out resolume (or pretty much any other vj software) and do some basic tuts
you can then mixer out to laptop and sync these effects
