Feature Article in Cleveland Plain Dealer - January 18, 2009

"Aryavarta Kumar has no need for an iPod during long car drives. The scenery inspires his brain to compose its own soundtrack. Kumar, a composer and medical student, always jots down the ideas in hopes they'll fit in a piece he's creating. You may have heard Kumar's music at a screening of a locally produced movie, a play or even a unique "here comes the bride" theme...."
-Julie Washington, Plain Dealer

Film Synergy Interview

FS: Where does your passion for music come from? AK: That's an interesting question. It can come from inspiration that I see everyday. A beautiful scene that I see outside my car window, a unique thought, anything. Creating inspiration leads me to think in terms of musical notes, harmony, and melody.

LivingCorpse Review of A Joker's Card and Soundtrack (September 2005)

"Another stand-out feature of the film is the original score composed by Aryavarta Kumar, which melds both the playfulness of Danny Elfman from Oingo Boingo with the serious orchestral leanings of the good batman films, with a dash of 60's-style zaniness thrown in when appropriate.
