He was a co-founder and editor of the avant-garde music periodical Source: Music of the Avant Garde.
Austin gained additional international recognition when he realized a completion of Charles Ives's Universe Symphony.
He received a bachelor's (Music Education, 1951) and master's degree (Music, 1952) from University of North Texas College of Music.

While at the University of California, Davis, he founded the improvisational New Music Ensemble.
Chamber works with particularly significant computer music/electro-acoustic music aspects include Accidents for electronically prepared piano (1967), written for David Tudor, Canadian Coastlines: Canonic Fractals for Musicians and Computer Band for eight musicians and tape from 1981, and BluesAx for saxophonist and tape (1995), which won the Magisterium Prize, at Bourges in 1996.
In 1972 he accepted a position at the University of South Florida, where he taught until 1978.
Other orchestral works of special note include Charles Ives's Universe Symphony, "as realized and completed by Larry Austin" (1974–93) for large orchestra, and Sinfonia Concertante: A Mozartean Episode (1986) for chamber orchestra and tape.

The noted critic Tom Johnson has written of Austin's music, "His style is neither uptown nor downtown, nor is it minimal, eclectic, hypnotic, or European. But it works, it is strongly personal, and it has something to say in all these directions.... The real source of Austin's music, however, is clearly Charles Ives, who also liked musical symbols, enjoyed collaging them together as densely as he could, and never had much of a knack for prettiness."
Austin said that "Exploring new concepts, new materials and their interaction is essential to my work as a composer."
