For their seventh release, Hidden Harmony proudly presents the debut album of LONG TWINS into the waxen sonic
wonderland for your full listening pleasure.

 ‘Everyone In Water’ by KV Hopper and Elizabeth LoPiccolo duo is a collection of delicate avant-pop songs that occupy liminal space between sophisticated songwriting and the eternal charms of warm
modular arpeggios, the brilliant voice and flute sonority and blue-sky psychedelia of sequencers, generators and filters, the
merging compositional prowess and experimentation with pop sensibility. ‘Everyone In Water’ deals with lyrical themes
centered around the sense of place and everyday rituals which curve out into an incredibly serene peak of new sincerity.
The thirteen songs on the album are a transcendental amalgamation of avant and pop traditions and of organic and
electronic compositional structures - an entire universe of a record blessed with its own beautifully bizarre logic.

‘In the movement itself, music makes us aware of the passing of time, always tracking toward itself like a clock. An
album is an experience of sound; it can make us believe something imaginary - as if a flute can play itself. The
recording becomes any interpretation of motion we want it to be’ – Long Twins

KV Hopper is a musician and product designer living in Portland, OR. Originally from El Paso, Texas, during the mid-90’s
he helped form punk group, At The Drive-in and appeared on the first two releases (Hell Paso and Alfaro Vive Carajo). In
2001 he moved to San Francisco and created an instrumental prog-band, Crime in Choir (featuring Death Grips drummer,
Zach Hill, synthesist, Jonas Reinhardt and other contributing artists). In 2019, he began a studio project, Long Twins with
collaborations from guitarist, Phil Manely (Trans Am and Life Coach); vocalist, Meryl Press; percussionist, Warren Huegel
(Damo Suzuki’s Network); and vocalist, flutist, Elizabeth LoPiccolo.
Elizabeth LoPiccolo is a musician, film photographer, and performer living in Brooklyn, New York. She has been a member
of Xhoir (an offshoot of Colin Self’s Xoir), a contributor to the music and performances of Ziemba (René Kladzyk, who takes
her band name from her grandmother’s maiden name) and a longtime collaborator with her husband, Rhys Ziemba (no
relation to René Kladzyk, just pure coincidence!) Most recently Elizabeth has been a contributor of vocals, lyrics, and flute
arrangements to the experimental synth tapestries of Long Twins.

A Planetary Nebula is the death shroud a star. As the core collapses, the outer layers are thrown outwards forming shells around the remnant. They are called "planetary" because in early telescopes they looked like blobs much as the planets did.

The proton-proton chain is the main fusion reaction method used by the sun. Can you hear the trillions of trillions of protons slamming together to eventually form Helium and lots of energy ?
