His works include solo performance pieces such as ''Endangered Species'', ''TransDadaExpress'', and ''Shofar''; radio works such as ''Crystal Psalms'', ''Un Altro Ferragosto'', ''I Dreamt John Cage Yodeling at the Zurich Hauptbahnhof'', and ''Living Room Music''; large-scale musical choreographic works such as ''Oh Brass on the Grass Alas'', for 300 amateur brass-band musicians, and the ''Maritime Rites'' series of performances on and near water; sound installation works such as ''Magic Carpet'', ''Floor Plan'', ''The Twentieth Century'', and ''Gardening with John''; chamber music such as ''For Cornelius'' for piano, the trio ''Schtyx'', the string quartet ''VSTO'', the saxophone quartet ''Electric Rags II'', the percussion quartet ''THEME PARK'', a series of works for chorus SATB, and the work for chamber orchestra and video ''Circus Maximus''; ''The Book of Beginnings'' for orchestra, youth orchestra, self-playing pianos, and cellphone app; and many collaborative dance and theater works.
Since 1993, Curran has worked on ''Inner Cities'', a growing series of solo piano pieces that together form one of the longest non-repetitive piano pieces ever written. Daniela Tortora has edited a book about his work, ''Alvin Curran Live in Roma'' (Die Schachtel 2010). In 2015 he published ''The Alvin Curran Fakebook'', an atypical autobiography that includes photos, writings, and sketches alongside more than 200 scores and fragments ranging from raw sonic materials to conceptual musics and completed compositions. His articles have been published in the New York Times, Leonardo, The Contemporary Music Review, and Musiktexte, among others. Provided by Wikipedia
