This work also utilizes the sampling methodology desribed for arghanum III. The sources for materials were the vocal pieces penetrations VII and ekphonesis V [written for and recorded by Meg Sheppard], and the percussion pieces sensors I and sensors V. arghanum IV also includes instrumental, industrial and human sonic events rescued via sampling from the recent past.
arghanum [Gk. Organon]: Arabic name for a Byzantine organ, according to the writer Ibn Khurdadkbih [9th century] the word 'arghanum' was interpreted as meaning "1000 voices".
Realized at the composer's own studio [Studio SHELAN]. Some digital processing was done with a Synclavier II Digital Synthesizer at the EMS, McGill University.
