I have no philosophy. I am who I am and do what I do in the way that I do it. I philosophy like crazy before or after the fact, but I think that's just me taking myself too seriously
I have all these crazy ideas before and after - but when it comes to the actual session(s) it seems that it all gets thrown out the window.
I have a funny quirk. It seems that I love every song that I record for people. When I'm recording I'm always like "wow this music is great!" I don't think I've ever recorded a band that I didn't think was making a hit record (I've yet to figure out why none of the records I've recorded have been hits
).
So I don't think of this as some kind of accumen you can follow, it's simply the way you are (or are not). But for me, what gets me out of bed is:
I love music (not judge it), I love people, and I take alot of pride in what I do.
