"We always find as we investigate the universe -- make the microscope bigger and bigger and we will find ever more minute things; make the telescope bigger and bigger and bigger and the universe expands because it's running away from itself. It won't do that if you don't chase it!"
"Chase the Universe" is a collaborative EP by Romo (LA) and SincJack (DC). The format of the album features alternating instrumental tracks from the aforementioned producers, working together to tell a story with the help of samples from a lecture ("Chasing Yourself") given by philosopher, Alan Watts. Although this album contains spiritual and philosophical themes (e.g., the interconnectedness of things, perspective and interpretation/hermeneutics, the ephemerality of life), it offers no message in particular; that is something for the listener to decide. To chase, or not to chase, that is the question...
Best enjoyed on a summer night with a side of 'clear, starry skies.'

"My name is Romo. A music producer native to southern California, I make abstract, chill hop, jazz hip hop, and trip hop beats, primarily using samples in my work. I started producing in 2010, when I discovered Nujabes. He has been my greatest influence, though I draw inspiration from many artists and life experiences."
