Cosey Fanni Tutti's Electronic Ambient Remixes 4: Selflessness emerged from live art actions performed at Disneyland, California in 2002, with additional recordings in Beachyhead, Sussex; Cemetery Hull, and Sandringham in the United Kingdom. Originally broadcast on London's Resonance FM's Clear Spot Radio program, Selflessness Four is the last action in the series.

A slow aquatic-electro-dripp. Terrestrial babble featuring mechanical churning and drone tones. A disembodied school of chirping birds flying a reverse route. An oracular unveiling of children’s voices dancing with the ghoulish invitations of costumed characters. Coded speech and maniacal laughter whisks back and forth against a steady bass line. Ambient swaths of dark, eerie, and ethereal contradictions. Hushed distortions of mundane utterances and authoritative commands, shapeshifting. A mutilated silence, unfurling. - Introduced by Wave Farm Radio Art Fellow Desiree Mwalimu-Banks
