To do that I made a moving but ultimately melodyless sound effect for each channel and played them against each other left & right. Like they refuse to be connected in a real conversation. I then made a lead and did the same offset with another sound. I bring them together with the very simple synth sound that is deliberately in the middle with no sonic connection to the leads until the very end.
