“One thing I’m conscious about in field recording is that it’s only in that moment

“One thing I’m conscious about in field recording is that it’s only in that moment and it never is again. And if you’re there to be attentive to it and to capture it, you can hopefully transmit that… I think there’s a different relationship with a recording you make yourself because all of that embedded, embodied experience is there and that’s valuable. The ironic thing is that all of us become archives.”
