In a masterful exploration of psychological displacement, Indianapolis-based artist Alex Goodman’s project Guteren delivers a deeply affecting experience with “Dissolving.” This track doesn’t just describe derealization – it sonically embodies the unsettling sensation of reality slipping through your fingers like sand.

The collaborative production between Goodman and Jordan Furr creates a soundscape that perfectly mirrors the song’s complex emotional terrain. The composition weaves through layers of consciousness, each element carefully placed to enhance the sensation of slowly losing grip on one’s surroundings. It’s a bold artistic choice that pays off brilliantly, making the listener feel both unsettled and strangely comforted as the boundaries between real and unreal blur.

What’s particularly striking about “Dissolving” is how it transforms a deeply personal experience into something universally relatable. Goodman’s raw, honest approach to confronting personal struggles shines through in every note and lyric. The production creates a sonic cocoon that paradoxically feels both isolating and embracing – much like the experience of derealization itself.
