From the label:

"In TRAFO, Opek connects his cinematic visions to his love for jazz music, creating a cloudy deep-groove soundscape, filled with hallucinations and slivers of time travel.
The mostly instrumental album scratches different genres, including spiritual jazz, rare groove, and of course library and 70s film music.

Recorded live in his Cologne studio by a five piece band, Opek pays homage to influences like Wayne Shorter, Soft Machine, David Axelrod and Marc Moulin's Placebo. The recording setting gives the album tension and vividness on one hand, intimacy and warmth on the other. The compositions transform old memories into melodies and strive to translate recurrent observations into sound.

On TRAFO Opek plays the drums and is accompanied by Caris Hermes on double bass, Elisabeth Waanders on Fender Rhodes, Julius van Rhee on saxophone and Jonathan Böbel on trombone. Typical Opek-esk sounds make the album a krautjazz experience and let elements of nightly madness dissolve into stimulating curiosity.
A feeling like in a Borges novel - it’s not a dream, but an awakening."
