As field recordist the most enjoyable part, by far, is not the hunt for interesting sounds; not taking home a flash card full of great recordings – but THAT exact state you are talking about.
When the “tape” is rolling and I just sit there, listening, trying not to breathe loudly or move at all, disappearing into the moment completely.

In that moment, I am calm, because I have to. The nature of the work forces me to be calm. There are no more dials to dial, buttons to press or mics to position – all that is done. But I also can’t let my mind wander too much – or I will lose that calm and perhaps even make a noise by accident. Which is another plus. In order to do the work right, I need to stay in that meditative state for as long as I’m recording. Nothing like spending a few hours like that.
