La Ruche/To Kill a Sunrise is owned by Smithsonian Folkways. I corresponded with the research staff at the Folklife Center a couple of years ago to see if they could scour the archives for a) the quad master tapes for
To Kill a Sunrise and/or b) any production notes that might offer insight into Mimaroglu's quad mixing philosophy. Unfortunately their searches came up empty. Their only recommendation was to try to track down Tom Dwyer, the mastering engineer. I had no luck with that.
In
this post from a decade ago,
@steelydave actually listed three Finnadar CD-4s (and possibly Q8?) for which Mimaroglu almost certainly did the quad mix: Eric Saltzman,
Wiretap; George Flynn/John Cage,
Wound/Winter Music; and
Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. AoQ discussed his research into the latter album in this thread:
