Futura Resistenza presents Emmanuelle Parrenin, Gunnar Gunnsteinsson, Able Noise, Duckfood (DJ) ^DJ

Futura Resistenza is a label and platform based in Brussels and Rotterdam, operating at the intersection of performance, music, and visual arts. Futura Resistenza is invited by Roodkapje to curate a series of concerts at their venue, featuring musicians and artists who are connected to the label, as well as those they admire and wish to see perform.

Emmanuelle Parrenin: Emmanuelle Parrenin learned music instinctively, growing up in a home filled with sound—her father led the Quatuor Parrenin, a string quartet, and her mother taught harp. After a decade in folk music, she released Maison Rose in 1977—an enigmatic and beautiful album where post-folk meets traditional music and experimental electro-acoustic sound, highly sought after and thankfully reissued.

In 1990, an accident left her deaf; she retrained her ears using her voice and the resonance of her instruments, deepening her interest in healing sounds and music as medicine. Her 2011 album Maison Cube continued her folk journey, infused with psychedelia, jazz, and shamanism. Since then, she's collaborated widely in the electronic scene—with Etienne Jaumet, Tolouse Low Trax, and others.

Gunnar Gunnsteinsson: Gunnar Gunnsteinsson is an artist and composer based in Reykjavik, working across sound installations, film scoring, and musical education. His second studio album, A Janitor's Manifesto — released a few years ago on Futura Resistenza — reflects a period when he worked part-time as a janitor in an Amsterdam artist housing complex where he also lived. Recorded in Amsterdam and Reykjavik between 2017 and 2021. We're pleased to bring Gunnar back to Rotterdam to present new solo works.

Able Noise: Able Noise is George and Alex's experimental baritone guitar and drum duo based between The Hague and Athens. Using voice, tape, and alternative playing techniques, they create minimal, visual live performances shaped by space and audience. Their recordings focus on field recordings, processed sounds, and experimental mixing. They debuted on Glasgow's GLARC in 2020 and released their LP High Tide on London's World of Echo in November 2024.

Duckfood (DJ): Duckfood is the alias of Rotterdam-based sound artist and DJ Robert Kroos, active in the Rebel Up! collective. His work draws from global music, experimental electronics, and film soundtracks. Duckfood definitions categorization. Always on the search for new and old sounds from around the globe, his music collection absorbs anything from renaissance to Moroccan trance, and his DJ selections are colorful and not hampered by any preoccupation about genre.
