Binary Sol

Meeting in the classrooms of Berklee College of Music, Madison McFerrin and Jarred Barnes first came together for a group project in Kara DiaGuardi's Hit Making class in the fall of 2012. With Jarred's electronic, hip-hop sound, and Madison's R&B, funk vocals, the two quickly learned after writing "The Chase" that their synergy was not something to simply be kept within the walls 921 Boylston. A project outside of the classroom soon became the goal, and the beginnings of Binary Sol were born.
During their time at Berklee, both members were working vigorously on their own projects; Madison was in both her own funk band Cosmodrome, as well as touring globally with her father Bobby McFerrin in his SpiritYouAll band, and Jarred honed his production skills as ARKTKT all the while providing piano accompaniment and instrumentation for various artists. The duo gradually released singles over the years, and on November 6, 2015 released their debut EP "Dark Matter."

Binary Sol derives their sound from electronic, hip-hop, r&b, and soul influences. While drawing from influences that span from Stevie Wonder, to Discolsure, to Hiatus Kaiyote, and many more, the duo works to provide their own futuristic take on the music that inspires them most. They are true independent artists; their catalog was self written, produced and performed entirely on a laptop, basic condenser microphone and minimal studio set-up. Yet on their own they have been featured on Okayplayer and Soulbounce, and have played with artists such as Taylor McFerrin, Sonnymoon, Chargaux, and on Eliot Glazer's Haunting Rendition show.
