Hoopdreams is a Portland and Seattle based project that began as a collection of songs intended solely for the ears of NBA players. Composed of members Ryan Chapman, Aaron Chapman, and John Bowers, Hoopdreams creates songs that explore the limits and infinities of human possibility, and the bewildering sense of disembodiment inherent in the act of creation. Their debut Dark Summer is an oddly evocative, highly original collection of songs that breathes fresh life into the age-old theme of human experience.
