A deep sense of lamentation and acceptance, of rolling time and final breaths, bringing the endless moment around full circle.
 
What Remains is a dynamic confluence of sonic worlds -- four interconnected passages that venture from analog-sequencer driven elegant futurism, to yearning and mysterious tribal ambient, to conclude with the heart-wrenching, pure-atmospherics of the title track. There's an odyssey-like quality at work here, a revealing culmination of the different electronic musics Roach has developed and explored over the last forty years.
What Remains is a powerful meditation upon Steve's journey of one. "As I grow deeper into time," Steve reflects, "my devotion to deeply engaging in this creative life progressively increases the potency to burn away that which is no longer needed. The shedding of old skins, patterns and perceptions have to be examined. What remains infuses the art with this essence. This transcendental state inherently evolves as one is tempered through the priorities of time. There are no boundaries around what I do. I venture to the place I feel in my imagination or discover while creating the music; it is how it wants to unfold. I desire to keep pushing further and deeper into places that are connected to what I've done while also pushing me into new worlds to explore. As an artist, I use these instruments with the agility to move between a lot of dynamic soundworlds. Like an actor, I inhabit different roles and disappear into them. That creative experience embodies all these incredible emotional, spiritual and psychological spaces as a daily meditation upon what remains vital."
