Suzanne Ciani Performs at Eternal Research's Rite of the Demon: Summer as the Demon Box Traverses to San Francisco for an Immersive Celebration of Electronic Music, Myth and EMF Soundscapes

Acclaimed electronic music pioneer joins Eternal Research for a one-night multimedia performance as the company's groundbreaking Demon Box enters general availability

San Francisco, CA, August 3, 2026– Eternal Research concluded its latest seasonal performance, Rite of the Demon: Summer, with a sold-out immersive audivisual performance at Gray Area in San Francisco, featuring legendary electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani alongside Eternal Research founders Alexandra Fierra and Bryn Nieboer. The performance celebrated the intersection of mythology, experimental performance, and emerging musical technology while showcasing the expressiveness of the company's flagship instrument, the Demon Box, which is now shipping to customers.

Blending live electronic performance, dance, cinematic projection, handcrafted instruments, and quadraphonic sound, Rite of the Demon: Summer continued Eternal Research's evolving series of performances inspired by the ancient Oracle of Delphi. Throughout the evening, the world of electromagnetic fields became a living musical element through the Demon Box, allowing performers to transform invisible energy into creative sonic expression in real-time.

Innovator among innovators

Widely recognized for redefining electronic music performance and spatial sound, Suzanne Ciani's immersive quadraphonic performance served as the centerpiece of the evening, creating a dialogue between electronic music traditions and Eternal Research's contemporary exploration of electromagnetism as a creative medium.

"Having Suzanne join us was incredibly meaningful—not only because of her profound influence on electronic music, but because her work shares our belief that technology can reveal hidden worlds. The Demon Box gives artists an entirely new way to perform with the electromagnetic environment around them." said Alexandra Fierra, founder of Eternal Research.

Reflecting on the performance, Ciani praised Eternal Research's multidisciplinary approach to live performance and its commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. “Rite of the Demon: Summer was more than a concert, it was like a mini festival of artforms: dance, visuals, and immersive audio. It showed the dedication to artistry Eternal Research embodies,” said Ciani.

Demon Box: capturing invisible sonic energy

Originally developed through a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Demon Box is the world's first portable electromagnetic field instrument designed for musicians, sound artists, educators, and creative technologists. Rather than simply detecting electromagnetic activity, it transforms surrounding electronic fields into playable audio while simultaneously generating MIDI and control voltage, making it equally at home in modular synthesizer systems, DAWs, live performance rigs, and experimental installations.

The San Francisco performance demonstrated the instrument's versatility in a live artistic setting, where performers used the Demon Box alongside Eternal Research's custom-built instruments—including the Demon Harp, Demon Viola, and Demon Bells—to create an evolving sonic landscape driven by both physical performance and the unseen electromagnetic environment.

Following its public debut across a series of Rite of the Demon performances, the Demon Box is now shipping, giving musicians and artists worldwide the opportunity to explore electromagnetic performance in their own creative practice.

The Rite Continues

Following the success of Rite of the Demon: Summer, Eternal Research will continue its seasonal performance series with Rite of the Demon: Fall, taking place Friday, September 18 at Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn, New York. The Fall performance will offer a more intimate evening of experimental music and audiovisual performance, featuring Testu Collective and acclaimed electronic artist Leslie Garcia.

Designed as a closer encounter with Eternal Research's evolving artistic practice, Rite of the Demon: Fall will carry on the exploration of the intersection of electromagnetism, mythology, and live performance through the Demon Box and the company's family of custom-built instruments, giving audiences an opportunity to experience the work in a more personal setting.
