About Eternal Research

Music is everywhere, inhabiting inanimate objects, just waiting for us to enter its worlds. The noisiest devices can possess a hidden elegance in the patterns of electro-magnetic waves their operation induces.

Eternal Research is a music technology company dedicated to designing new instruments that reveal the hidden music embedded in everyday objects. By harnessing electro-magnetic fields (EMF) and using a proprietary system of inductors to translate these signals into sound, Eternal Research opens up an entirely new realm of musical possibilities. Its debut product, the Demon Box, can "play" the EMF signatures of devices like cell phones, TVs, and hairdryers—turning the invisible noise of our daily environment into music.

About The Demon Box

The Demon Box is a musical instrument that reveals the hidden sounds and rhythms of everyday devices. Using 33 carefully arranged inductors, it detects and translates the electro-magnetic resonances of the objects and devices around us into three channels—letting musicians sculpt textures polyphonically with panning, phasing, and layered effects.

Embracing complexity, the design offers an open-ended interface that encourages experimentation. Each of the three EMF channels features a dedicated aux input with individual blend controls, enabling sound design with external gear. According to Bryn Nieboer, “Stereo is limited, but with three channels, we can go beyond it, creating a more immersive, triphonic sound.”

Connectivity is comprehensive: three mono audio outs, one MIDI out, a stereo headphone jack, and a USB-C port for charging or output. Whether you're routing into a live mixer or a DAW, the Demon Box integrates easily into any setup.

More than a tool—it’s an invitation. “Our instruments are for people trying to experience new things,” says Fierra. “The Demon Box is an open palette. I didn’t want to hide the complexity or the noise. I wanted people to realize that chaos can be a good thing. The chaos is the music, or the seed of all new music.”
