I'm Koda (Akhil Kodamanchili), a South Indian alternative artist and musician currently based in Berlin, Germany. My work plays with dark, moody and paradoxical themes with optimistic overtones across various mediums to create evocative and immersive experiences that often revolve around identity, mental health and existentialism among other light hearted topics.
I am a multi-instrumentalist and a curious being with a thirst for impactful expression and in this portfolio you will find my work as a music composer, producer, designer, photographer and film maker to paint a holistic image of what I can bring to the table. I am interested in positions of leadership as well as positions of specialised contribution.

Music Composition & Sound Design for Film & Game
My approach to scoring films comes from a natural sensitivity to the symbiosis of different disciplines converging to tell a compelling story. Considering my off-beat journey through my career, the sounds and motifs take on a distinct sound despite being characteristically diverse. Below you can explore my past work and a range of compositions and productions that were made to real and imaginary briefs of styles that I enjoy.
Role: Music, Genre: Tragedy, Language: Hindi Scoring this heart wrenching film was approached with a self imposed limitation of working exclusively with an electric guitar. The key challenges of this project were around staying sensitive to moments where music needed to allow the starkness of the story portrayed to come through by virtue of minimalism.
Role: Sound Design, Music & Post Production, Genre: Psychological Drama, Language: Kannada The sound design for this film posed some interesting opportunities to represent the same character in multiple angles through the auditory channel. It was also an interesting challenge to maintain a balance between sympathy and the abstraction of feelings beying represented in the film.
Role: Sound Design & Music, Genre: Whimsicle Drama, Language: N/A The sound design and music for this animated short demanded an arc that could match the sweetness of the visuals and the intensity of the climax.
Role: Music & Sound Design, Genre: Various, Language: N/A This playlist features a spread of various works with corresponding descriptors.
