STRATEGIES for REHARMONIZATION in LIVE LOOP COMPOSITION

I've been reading a lot of books on modern (and classical) harmony 
lately, in a desire to learn
more about the use of substitutions in harmony in my live looping 
composition efforts.

In my own music,  I've done a lot of exploration into ways to manipulate 
typical diatonic harmony,
modal harmony and I've learned a lot about different world approaches to 
scalar playing.

Now,  I want to investigate ways to purposefully play outside of scales 
outside of typical
straight modulation techniques.

So, I was wondering:

What are some tricks or strategies that you use to create either more 
complex harmony
(as opposed to purely modal or diatonic harmony) in melodic songwriting?
