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

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

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.

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.
