Eternal Research Opens New Hollywood Studio, the Demon Lair

14 January 2026 - Press release

2026 will mark a series of firsts for Eternal Research, the creative studio building a new multimodal, synesthetic orchestra. One of the biggest developments is that the company will open its first physical location: a studio dubbed the Demon Lair, after its flagship EMF-powered instrument/controller the Demon Box.

Housed in a 3800 sq ft warehouse in Hollywood, the Lair will function as a showroom, laboratory, and a studio for film, music, and live performance. There will be space for everything from woodworking, costumes, photography, painting to fabrication as the company builds on its vision and embraces every aspect and every stage of its groundbreaking devices.

“The space will give us the ability to explore visual art and incorporate it with sound and new instruments,” explains Eternal Research founder, inventor and artist Alexandra Fierra. “We plan on utilizing the studio as a collaborative space.”

The space will build on the world of the Demon Box, reprising the theme of the number 3 with special sound equipment. These will include a custom-designed triphonic speaker set up created by Oakland-based sound artist Fait Poms of Faited Systems. It will also serve as a workshop where Eternal Research’s next instruments will come to life, including a new instrument currently in development—a synth with unexpected possibilities.

“The Demon Box is not just a gimmick or a niche device, and we knew we needed space and freedom to demonstrate this, a place where we can push the envelope. A place where we can build around it,” reflects Fierra, who has travelled to instrument museums and collections around the world to ensure her designs had never been tried before. “We’re creating spaces and opportunities to work with others who are trying to do things differently, to approach technology with an artistic eye.”

The Demon Lair is Eternal Research’s LA home, yet creative souls everywhere will be able to encounter the Demon Box as Eternal Research hits the road this year. The company’s first stop will be the NAMM show in Anaheim in January (Hall B, Booth 9510). In collaboration with Media Pollution, the booth will show off the unique, multi-media capabilities of the Demon Box, while audiophiles can enjoy the Demon at several listening stations. Eternal Research will also have an exhibition at Buchla & Friends, January’s biggest two-day collection of hands-on synths on the West Coast, where attendees will learn, listen, and live the latest in electronic music sound production.
