I’m Johannes Frész, the pianist and composer behind Serene Piano. I’ve played since I was four. The piano is still where I go when I need to slow down or make sense of something I can’t quite say.

Travelling as a student made me curious about people and the stories they carry. These days I live with my wife and our four children. In the middle of our busy family life, sitting down at the piano gives me a moment to listen again.

I keep coming back to what a few notes can do. A melody can stay with you all day. A chord can change how a whole phrase feels. Sometimes the pause is the part I want to hear again.

That’s where Serene Piano comes from. I hope the pieces give you a little space for whatever’s on your mind.

When I play live, I listen to the room and the people in it. The music grows out of that encounter, and each improvisation belongs to the people who were there.
