Sometimes we need music that stops us in our tracks…

and reminds us to connect with the moment we’re currently experiencing, and that’s exactly what the compositions of Six Missing provide.

Created by Austin-based ambient composer and sound designer TJ Dumser, Six Missing crafts immersive soundscapes that explore memory, impermanence, and emotional resonance. Blending layered guitar loops, ethereal vintage synthesizers, and intricate textures, Dumser creates music designed for deep listening, meditation, and cinematic atmospheres—perfect for those seeking tranquility, mindfulness, or sonic inspiration.

Six Missing began in 2017 as an experimental guitar looping project, evolving into a distinct voice in the ambient music landscape. The name itself originates from a supernatural experience Dumser had at a Pennsylvania recording studio near the site of the Battle of Brandywine, where six soldiers remain unaccounted for. “I felt an overwhelming presence and an intense sadness—it was unlike anything I had experienced before. When I later discovered the historical connection, the name Six Missing became a way to honor both the unknown and the deeply felt.”

With a growing discography that includes releases on Nettwerk Music Group and collaborations with artists such as Clariloops, The Album Leaf, Jamie Lidell, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Robot Koch/Foam and Sand, St. Lucia, and more, Dumser’s work has been praised for its cinematic depth and emotional sincerity. His music has amassed over 30 million streams and is rapidly growing, resonating with listeners seeking music for focus, healing, and introspection.

Rooted in modern ambient composition and influenced by Brian Eno, Ólafur Arnalds, and Nils Frahm, Six Missing’s sound is both expansive and deeply personal. Whether as a soundtrack for film and television, an accompaniment to meditation, or a journey into the unknown, Six Missing offers a space to breathe, reflect, and explore the unseen.

Ultimately, Six Missing is more than music—it’s a soundtrack to enhance life’s experience, a sonic companion for those looking to connect with something greater, both within and beyond themselves.
