I do field recordings on my phone voice memo app. It’s the easiest way as your phone is always on you anyway. I started doing it to create soundscapes to potentially put behind poems but now I do it in the same way you might take a photo: because the moment was so beautiful you wanted to capture it. My favourite field recording was the Dawn chorus in the very early morning the day of a funeral. I discovered that she died while listening to the Dawn chorus, so it felt extra special.

i feel like i’m much more likely to listen to a voice memo recording than a video, but maybe that’s just me. sometimes i like taking a concert video, especially if there’s a specific song i wanna commemorate on video, but letting your phone sit in your pocket and just record is so nice n easy. also, if you’re at a concert where you’re standing, you won’t be blocking someone’s view with your phone. i <3 the voice memo app 4ever

I record when I start to forget and listen back to remember—be here now.
An act of documenting… when I'm crying out in laughter or suffering, tired right before bed, and a passage I just read, but most of all when I hear a sound never heard before.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
