KV Hopper is a Portland-based visual artist and musician whose work bridges experimental sound, design, and collaborative performance. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, he discovered music early through his mother’s collection of 1960s American soul and classic Middle Eastern records. That blend of cultures—and hours spent exploring the family’s Wurlitzer piano—set the foundation for his lifelong relationship with sound.
As a teenager, Hopper became a founding member of At the Drive-In, contributing bass and songwriting to the band’s first two releases and touring extensively throughout the Southwest. He later moved to San Francisco, studying industrial design and music technology at California College of the Arts (CCA), where his projects spanned from experimental music apps to handcrafted electronic instruments built with recycled plastics.
His performance history includes a 2007 collaboration with British artist Anthony McCall at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) for the interactive light installation You and I, Horizontal III. Hopper’s current project, Long Twins, continues his focus on interdisciplinary collaboration—most recently on the 2023 album Everyone in Water, created with lyricist/vocalist Elizabeth LoPiccolo and choreographers Lili Macatangay and Katerina Vitiaz.
Hopper’s latest album, Taped Baskets was created in collaboration with Croatian vocalist, Doris Banovic accompanied by modern dance video performances by London based artist, Bun Kobayashi. Taped Baskets is set to be released on Northern Geographic in 2026.

It's relatively safe to lock gaze with Christophe as his primarily focus is lucidity itself. 

The techno that he serves aims to keep you awake so that you don't fall prey to known and unknown forces. It's mental enough to hum along to it - and punk enough to shake  your insidiously comfortable dreams away. Some might find it gloomy, others use it as protection. Inspired by Midwest Techno and steel teutonic non-grooves alike, his vibe is direct and rough. It has to be. 

Like a seasoned driver taking you to an after-party in Buenos Aires suburbs, he reminds you that the crocodile that falls asleep becomes a purse.

I’m exploring the quieter side of my guitar. These are pieces composed on guitar and Teenage Engineering OP1.
