EMPTY LOVE has been creating deep, organ rattling, analog drones since late 2007 in vancouver, in both the studio and live. several studio sessions, as well as some live performances have been documented on releases through vancouver based labels thankless, diadem discos, panospria, and csaf, as well as some self released items here and there. from the onset, empty love live performances have included a large visual element, often times utilizing home made props (such as dream machines, light wheels, and various other oddities), and more recently using projected visuals. several live and studio collaborations have happened with other vancouver sound artists, most of which have been released as part of the ongoing "empty love +" series.

CHRIS BRYAN has been working with audio as a medium since 1996 and started performing and recording as 3x3is9 when he switched over to a primarily digital approach in 1999. Recently a decision was made to abandon the 3x3is9 moniker as he felt that the “pop” sensibility of the name no longer fit his work. Chris’ approach to sound remains the same; with live performance typically being a semi-improvised computer based set exploring the textures and contrasts within sound. Chris has performed as a solo artist, and collaboratively with artists like Jamie Drouin (Van) and Bernhard Günter (DE).

KELSEY BRAUN is currently focusing his artistic practice in sound and video to highlight the aural and visual parts of the world that remain on the periphery, using them to construct another kind of reality from within which we can either escape, or observe our own from. His recurring themes of land and proximity seek an awareness of their relationship. Such environments are explored through a contrasting and complimentary combination of media to define, connect, and re-contextualize these phenomenon. These ideas manifest as sound performance and recording, single-channel video, and installation.
