A look into the creation process and eventual release of Mac Miller's 'Balloonerism,' courtesy of his recording engineer, frequent collaborator, and friend Josh Berg.
We asked Josh some questions about the magical sessions in 2014 that birthed 'Faces' and 'Balloonerism,' and why it's so special to see this album finally out in the world. The final version of 'Balloonerism' that we hear now mostly documents a two week creative burst in 2014, with very few changes. It was recorded at Mac's home studio which he referred to as "The Sanctuary" or "The Red Room." (Slides 3 & 6)
The album was released by the Mac Miller Estate accompanied by 'A Film Based On The Album By Mac Miller,' directed by Samuel Jerome Mason. (Slide 7)
