Six Missing / TJ Dumser: You Can't Be Anywhere Else but on the Run - R4R 415

Recording as Six Missing, ambient artist TJ Dumser creates music that encourages mindfulness and positive lifestyle habits. He combined both practices through running, but a few years ago, he lost both his love of the run and the mental clarity that came with it. He explores that period of his life in Six Missing’s upcoming project, “Gentle Breath.”
