This series was live-streamed from Clocktower Radio (“one of the first all-art online museum radio stations in the world”).

In 2022, Grey &amp; Morneau designed a soundscape for the exhibition space for <em>The Empty S(h)elf</em>, a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence – Space in Montreal. <br><br>In 2018 Grey &amp; Morneau were awarded <em>Joan C.
