Mike Fazio would seem to have retired his orchestramaxfieldparrish persona, for the time being if not permanently, but admirers of the wondrous work he's issued under that name needn't worry: the two recent works released under the Fazio name could just as easily have appeared under the orchestramaxfieldparrish guise, the Quiet World set especially. A purely instrumental recording, All At Once the Remote Go Forth My Soul and My Seeking, The Unknowable Becomes Known, was “improvised and recorded on the beautiful morning of August 21, 2011, somewhere in New York City,” and presents Fazio's artistry at its purest: one man and one guitar, and all of its forty-one minutes recorded live. The range of sounds Fazio coaxes from that single instrument is remarkable, however. In the first of six parts, “Extending Wings,” thick washes hover ominously overhead, spreading out until they encompass one's full range of vision. Though his guitar sound might be described as metallic, it's never abrasive or alienating. Instead, there's a warmth to Fazio's tone that draws the listener in, something particularly evident during “The Pearl of the Sea,” where his crystalline picking reverberates against a cloud-like mass for a sublime eleven minutes, and “Truly the Light is Sweet, and a Pleasant Thing it is for the Eye to Behold the Sun,” where the impression created is of someone blinded by the sun's radiance. The album's closing pair, “Be Not Darkened, Nor the Clouds Return After the Rain” and “A Place for Giving,” offer a satisfying dénouement in offering a meditative and calm exeunt. Transporting, mystical, celestial, and majestic are some of the words that come to mind as one listens to the recording.
