Dissolve is a collaborative musical project between experimental guitarists Chris Heaphy and Roy Montgomery. The two musicians formed a bond over an interest in film soundtracks and creating mood pieces, as opposed to performing in a rock band.{{cite web |first=Eric |last=Cecil |url=http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2012/02/interview-roy-montgomery.html |title=Interview: Roy Montgomery |publisher=blog.wfmu.org |date=23 February 2012 |accessdate=9 March 2013}} They began recording with each other in 1993 after Montgomery's former band Dadamah parted ways.{{cite web |first=Jon |last=Whitney |url=http://www.kranky.net/artists/dissolve.html |title=Dissolve |publisher=kranky.net |date=2008 |accessdate=9 March 2013}} They released two albums under the name Dissolve, That That Is ...
