Inner Cities 1-11 for piano, performed by Gabriella Smart (digital album only)
Café Grand Abyss by Jon Rose & Alvin Curran - ReR Megacorp, JRAC, 2019 (CD/DL). "In this record, “intricacy” rhymes with “poetry”" - Toneshift (Massimo Ricci) "Jon Rose and Alvin Curran on terrifying form . . . a duo made in heaven" - soundohm “A sonic feast” - dusted magazine (Marc Medwin) “Throat-gripping intensity” The Sydney Morning Herald (John Shand) “Joy and thrill" - baze.djunkiii “A wild ride around the free improvisation cabaret circuit” - Music Trust E-Zine (Michael Hannan)
Dead Beats, performed by Reinier Van Houdt. 2-CD set, Moving Furniture Records, 2019. Available also as a digital album. “A Borgesian library of wonders . . . truly the music of our time by one of the greatest composers, by one of the best pianists of our time.” - Vital Weekly (Sven Schlijper-Karssenberg) "A silence in which one can float, in abeyance, drenched in a redundant, reminiscent luminous trail" - Toneshift (Giuseppe Pisano) "Halcyon and pristine"- Borealiscape "Opens up the richness and abundance of simple material" - Willem Twee "Thrilling and unnerving polarities of density and energy" Bandcamp (Peter Margasak)
Endangered Species, 2-CD set. New World Records 80804, 2018. Also available as a digital album. "Endangered Species states, restates, correlates, instigates, inflates and deflates, elevates, formulates, disintegrates, interrogates, percolates, granulates, germinates, Kiss Me Kates, Tom Waits, Norman Bates and W.B. Yeats, horripilates, adumbrates, prestidigitates, sophisticates, enumerates, integrates and contraindicates songs from the standard repertoire" - from liner notes by Clark Coolidge "Entertaining and startling, Endangered Species extends an irresistible invitation to share Curran's enduring pleasure in a fine tune and a fresh twist" - Julian Cowley (The Wire) "Nobody can quite create a narrative like this today save Alvin Curran . . . an essential of the now of New Music. It is a work to experience in multiple ways and ideally multiple times." Grego Applegate Edwards
"A compelling dynamic between idiomatic fluency and subversive conceptualism . . . he does what Coolidge says that “jazzguys” do – give old songs new life." - Bill Shoemaker (Point of Departure)
"High-wire keyboard wizardry . . . His radical 16-minute re- composition of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’ speaks most powerfully, Curran’s stuttering deconstruction of Waller’s theme slamming into howling dogs, sexual groans, pockets of hip-hop scratching . . ." - Philip Clark (Jazzwise)
"a genuinely successful hybrid” - Marginal Revolution (Tyler Cowen)
Canti E Vedute Del Giardino Magnetico (Songs and Views from the Magnetic Garden) vinyl LP. Superior Viaduct / SV129 LP, 2018. Reissue of the original 1975 Ananda LP.
"For some years, it’s been extremely tricky to find. One reason that its reappearance on Superior Viaduct marks a delight. A second reason to welcome Curran’s sonic horticulture back to the present is its evergreen freshness of form and content." - Louise Gray (The Wire) "Beautiful early solo work… Curran mixes source recordings with bits of voice, electronics, percussion, chimes, and even kalimba – elements that bring an acoustic spirit to the recording that's really wonderful" (Dusty Groove)

His knack for tweezing nearly spiritual resonance out of even the most quotidian sound sources is certain to knock your wig off" - Other Minds "Kind of like the Holy Grail" - juno "Ever-changing perspectives" - Angelo Borelli "A grand oratorio of everyday life." - Brian Morton, The Wire
Inner Cities 8 performed by Canadian pianist Eve Egoyan, Other Minds Live series. "From a remarkable cycle of memory-infused ear quests and dream-driven sound trails" - Julian Cowley (The Wire) Available for download

of the year by “Philippe Robert (L'Oreille en coin”jazzmagazine.com),
and among the Best 15 of 2004 by Sound Projector (Resonance 104.4 FM) "A
standout record of 2004...the kind of range and depth we rarely hear in modern
music...beguiling and oddly complete in its eccentricities"
Keith
Kawaii (Tiny Mix Tapes) "just the right way into his creative
world" - Joshua Kosman(SF Chronicle)
"sumptuous and ambiguous...a stunner...absolutely beautiful"

Our
Ur (Someone to Watch Over What and Rue de la Gare 76), with Domenico Sciajno. Rossbin Production CD, RS015, 2004. "Strange, eerie zones of concentrated stillness"
– The WIRE "Someone to Watch Over What... is a dense, startling composition,
with ingenuity of structure and shrewdness of intent. Meaning is packed into
every second; there's clear, intellectual progression of the ideas, like a well-written
essay with well-presented argument. And it's exciting and impassioned, with
a (warped) sense of humour undercutting everything" – Ed Pinsent
(Sound Projector) "Enticing interplay, balancing nimbly between arbitrariness
and subtle intent" --Ars Electronica jury (awarding an Honorable Mention)
