Faculty

Composer, producer, curator and educator. Melissa Grey’s projects include concert works for acoustic instruments, electronics, live processing, installations, performances and concert and event curation-production. In 2016, she joined forces with composer-producer David Morneau, establishing a “wholly original” and “inventive” practice. Their work has received the following acclaim: “production is masterfully realized and consistently creative,” “beautiful and transcendent,” “hypnotic allure,” “a masterclass on how to utilize space,” “a masterpiece,” “a completely unique sonic world,” and “shows technical mastery… exudes fun… imaginative.” In 2023, they embarked on Sound the Asylum, a large-scale project about acoustics and 19th century asylum architecture. They are developing a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in unrenovated hospitals with complex histories. In her course, Sound Studies, at The New School, she works with students from across disciplines to introduce an awareness of the science, meaning, and perception of sound into their respective creative practices.
