Sechres Mound was a collaboration between Cédric Peyronnet (Toy Bizarre)

and Cyril Herry (Lecanora, Ashes To Ashes, Ninth Desert, Exotoendo)

which began in February 1995 following the discovery of an unused & monumental tank unit.

The aim was to exploit the sound potential of the place by using materials

mainly found on the site and installations built inside the one and only tank (no. D2 740m440).
New materials were brought in (PVC pipes, strings, metal bars etc.) to try out the unique reverberation of this space.

After a few weeks, the tank became a true research laboratory, full of various objects (wood pieces, cables and nails).

The purpose was to reveal the authentic sound identity of this place.
In October 1995, it was decided to release a cassette with a selection of live recorded sequences.
It was a little cardboard boxset with rust taken from the tank and the cassette inside.
80 numbered copies were released on Cédric & Cyril's own label, Cynistrose.

 Each "D2 740m440" piece was improvised and recorded live on site without any external contribution or sound treatments.
Exactly ten years later, "D2 740m440" was re-released on a A5-sized carboard cover in a plastic sleeve CD-R

including the bonus track "Traumatism" that was taken from the compilation tape "Germ",

released by Incense (Cyril's own label) in 1995.
