Demon Box

The Demon Box uses a proprietary configuration of 33 inductors in a triangular field that translates the electromagnetic resonances of innumerable objects and devices into three channels. The three channels allow you to sculpt with panning, phasing and effects layering. Stereo is limited, but we can expand on stereo with more than two channels, making a more synaesthetic triphonic feeling-sound. Each of the three channels can be modified with one dedicated aux in, with controls that allow the music maker to mix aux in and inductors independently for each channel. Using a proprietary system of inductors to translate EMF into sound, Eternal Research’s first commercial product, the Demon Box, can play anything from a cell phone to a hairdryer, process this signal, and make it musical.

The demon box is designed to be a portal to explore the sounds of everything around you that interfaces with the medium around you. We live in this soup of energy around us, and the demon box is the way to access it. EMF is all around us. It fluctuates based on temperature. It’s a living thing as well, everything is connected with it. The music is already there, and you can hear it when you put a Demon Box next to fluorescent lighting or a TV or even a traditional synth. This instrument lets us listen to the inherent music of the universe in new ways and expand our understanding of what is natural.
