Recorded at Estudio Acustica UACh, in Valdiva, Chile, on November 25th, 2019, by Jorge Cardenas.
"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

Matías Mardones is also a composer of free contemporary music, which he has carried in parallel with his career as a musician on the jazz scene, which he definitively joined in the mid-2000s as a collaborator with the brothers Diego and Hugo Manuschevich and their cast. of musicians from the Núcleo de Resistencia Estética collective. Mardones had initially played in avant-garde projects of a certain capital underground, such as the Mandali quintet and the LaKut group, but he soon consolidated himself in the free and experimental jazz environment playing in 2005 with Diego Manuschevich. In parallel, he adopted the pseudonym of Teo Naranjo in the Normaldis electronic contemporary music project, with the composer Sebastián Rehbein and the programmer Carlos Barros, who released the album Normaldis (2006). Matías Mardones continued his route in jazz with a journey that was getting closer and closer to a mainstream, acting as a sideman for the pianist Carmen Aguilera, the double bassist Daniel Navarrete, or the singers Juan Pablo Rivera and Tania Pérez, and even He has recorded records of folk song figures such as Camila Moreno and Fernando Milagros. At the same time, in 2011 he joined the staff of musicians of the Animals en la Vía label, where he integrated a versatile rhythm section together with Belgian pianist Jasper Huysentruyt and double bassist Roberto Carlos Lecaros. With them, Mardones recorded albums by Bruno Riveros, Atma (2013), by Roberto Lecaros, 69 (2014), by Álvaro Zavala, Cholo (2014), by Sebastián Prado, Triofisis (2015) and by Roberto Carlos Lecaros himself, Puente (2015)." ^ Hide Bio for Matias Mardones
