His debut Album ‘Journey’ is not just a collection of pieces, but one grand adventure, where each piece plays its role in telling the overarching story.
With the first piece ‘Enter’, we are transported into a different world. There we go through different experiences, each of which is represented by a composition. Finally ’The Return’ brings us back to the concert venue and we arrive again in the here and now.
He has toured a number of cities in Europe, and recently he was invited to present his music at the ACF New York City.
"After hearing the last notes of the album fade away, we could only stammer three letters: Wow!" - Hans Vermeulen (Luminous Dash), about Journey
"Johannes Fend has a presence and technique that make you become quiet. The Austrian bassist really plays in the moment. He is above all exceptionally musical: everything he plays sounds as if all other options and possibilities were irrelevant." - Eddy Determeyer
"Innovative, virtuoso, sensitive"
