Grey was listed by the Los Angeles Times – Faces to Watch 2006, Classical Music Section, by Mark Swed. Career as Sound DesignerOver two decades as a sound designer, professional relationships have led Grey to work with such artists and organizations as John Adams, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers, Kronos Quartet and The Paul Dresher Ensemble. He has premiered major concert and opera works for composers John Adams, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Peter Eotvos and Paul Dresher. Grey was the first sound designer in history to design for The New York Philharmonic at Avery Fisher Hall in 2002 (Adams’ On the Transmigration of Souls), The Lyric Opera in Chicago in 2007, Disney Concert Hall in 2003 and is the first to design for The Metropolitan Opera in New York City, for Adams' Doctor Atomic in October 2008. His sound design creations have been seen and heard throughout most major concert halls, theatres and opera houses worldwide. Grey continues to work as sound designer for John Adams. He was the recording engineer on Adams' Hoodoo Zephyr, and was the sound designer for El Niño, Doctor Atomic, and On the Transmigration of Souls. His design work with Adams has been viewed as "cutting edge" for the world of traditional Classical music; the sound design for Doctor Atomic marked the first time house amplification was used in concert halls such as the Lyric Opera of Chicago or the New York Metropolitan Opera.
