Alexandra Fierra: The Demon Box – Music from Invisible Energy

In this first episode of Diffusing Music, Ben Neill speaks with Alexandra Fierra, founder of Eternal Research and creator of the Demon Box — a groundbreaking AI-powered instrument that senses and responds to electromagnetic radiation emitted by objects in its environment. Designed to collaborate with human performers in real time, the Demon Box transforms invisible energy fields into dynamic musical responses, opening new dimensions in improvisation and interaction. Their conversation explores how technologies like the Demon Box are reshaping the creative process, reflecting broader themes from Diffusing Music and Ben’s own innovations with the Mutantrumpet. Together, they examine the evolving relationship between human imagination, technological systems, and the hidden forces that shape artistic expression.
