LifeScore is a Music Tech company building Workbench, the consumer version of the parametric music production technology LifeScore has spent a decade building and deploying at enterprise scale. Workbench uses patented technology to transform an artist’s own stems into unlimited variations of their own music, keeping the DNA of the original composition intact.
Artists upload their stems, segment their music, set intensity levels, organise layers, and set parameters that shape the output. Tracks can be extended, shortened, rearranged, and tailored for social media, sync, cutdowns, alt versions, or long-form listening, with the artist in control of every decision.
Workbench is currently in alpha on the production side. With a growing waitlist, the alpha release is slated to launch late summer 2026. A streaming version, where audiences play with the music inside a sandbox the artist controls, is in development.
That same underlying technology is what built these:
The LifeScore team used Workbench to transform Sleeping at Last’s 13-track album Atlas into an 8-hour ambient sleep album, made entirely from the original album’s existing recordings, with roughly two hours of artist review and approval. Nothing new was recorded, and the album continues to generate significant revenue as listeners regularly stream it.
LifeScore won the 2021 Webby Award for Virtual & Remote: Best Audience Integration and Technical Achievement, for “Artificial,” a live sci-fi drama produced by 96Next and Twitch across 20 episodes, where the show’s by LifeScore soundtrack was composed in real time, shifting in emotion and intensity in response to input from the live audience chat, with the music entirely in the audience’s hands from scene to scene.
Bentley worked with LifeScore to build a demonstration vehicle with the ability to compose a live soundtrack based on the driver’s inputs and driving style, adapting in real time to enhance the emotional experience of every journey. The same adaptive music engine has been deployed in certain Audi production vehicles since 2025, demonstrating the same technology holds at the highest level of the automotive market.
Workbench unlocks a new way to do more with what artists have already recorded, without making more of it from scratch.
LifeScore is led by Chris Walch (CEO, co-founder), Tom Gruber (CTO, co-founder, co-inventor of Siri), and Ian Drew (Chairman, co-founder), with an audio team led by Chief Audio Officer Mary Lockwood.
The category most audio companies are competing in right now is “AI music generation”. LifeScore is building something entirely different. Your stems, your sound, your variations.
