Coda to Coda

What Coda to Coda does

Coda to Coda is a London-based sound and music studio operating from a four-room facility on Kingsland Road in Hoxton, with a core team of 1-10 employees supported by a UK-wide network of freelance composers, sound designers, programmers, and engineers. The firm delivers end-to-end audio services covering consultancy, music composition, sound design, audio engineering, recording (including ADR for up to four simultaneous actors), and post-production with mixing capability from stereo through 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos. Its underlying technical differentiators include proprietary generative soundscape software that randomly assembles categorized sound portraits into varying playback patterns (used at V&A East's 'Why We Make' galleries), Holoplot multi-zone beamforming installations, custom bone-conduction sound bars developed for the Imperial War Museum's Armistice Soundwave, and an interactive voice recording and categorization system built for Matthew Herbert's CHORUS installation at Wellcome Collection.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements rather than product sales; pricing is bespoke per project and disclosed only on direct enquiry ([email protected]). The go-to-market motion is sales-led, leveraging direct relationships with cultural institutions, brands, and entertainment companies together with longstanding strategic ties to tier-one experience design agencies including 59 Productions, Squint/Opera, EVENT, and Casson Mann, who bring Coda to Coda in as sound partner on flagship projects. Customer segments span museums and cultural institutions (the primary vertical), fashion and lifestyle brands, film and streaming platforms (BBC, HBO, Netflix), gaming and interactive media, and children's entertainment, with marquee clients including V&A, Natural History Museum, Jodrell Bank, Wellcome Collection, MoMA, Royal Opera House, Nike, LEGO, BMW, and major artists (Billie Eilish, Coldplay, Pharrell Williams). Owned-IP products (Alphaputt iOS game, Messy Goes To Okido children's TV) supplement the services core. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding events and is led by Sam Britton (Composer, Researcher, Software Developer), Will Worsley (Composer, Sound Designer, Engineer), and Tanya Auclair (Producer and Operations Manager).
