"Nichunimu is a Chilean improvisational trio working at the edges of free jazz, ritualism, noise, minimalism and krautrock music. Since 2014, Benjamin Vergara (Trumpet), Nicolas Carrasco (Synthesizer) and Matias Mardones (Percussion) have been inspired by repetition, textures and friendship through the sound, focusing on circular shapes in music that bind them together.
Based between the cities of Valdivia and Santiago, their members have also collaborated on projects like La Kut, Carinito 3, Dubitativos, representing a substantial part of Chile's experimental scene in the last 20 years.
On this project, Un Cacho de Metal, Un Resto de Vaiven, which was recorded the day after their performance at Relincha Festival, the trio was again inspired by patterns of circularity and repetition, tending towads sweet sounds like on "Entrechocanse," darker affect on "Suplidos," and experimental noise music on the opening track "Cachos." Their music, eternally youthful, gracefully combines acoustic and electronic effects."-577 Records
