"This is it!" is an electronic study for the composition Fremdkörper #3 (mit Michael Jackson) for ensemble and live-electronics. A year before starting to write “Fremdkörper #3 (mit Michael Jackson)” Michael Jackson, The King of Pop, deceased. His music and video-clips have had a tremendous impact on popular culture, and his personal life was at least as iconic as his music. I still remember the moment that I saw for the very first time, as a teenager, the videoclip of “Thriller”. I never saw something comparable before! And I remember that the image I got of him after seeing this videoclip got ever more distorted over the following years when seeing images of the continuous metamorphisis of his physical appearance. When composing this piece, I realized that Michael Jackson was just a perfect illustration of a “fremdkörper”, in the original sense of the word. Therefore Fremdkörper #3 became a kind of distorted “in memoriam” for Michael Jackson.
All of the electronic sounds in both "This is it!" and "Fremdkörper#3 (mit Michael Jackson)" were generated using home-made soundprocessing techniques on several “intro’s” of Michael Jackson songs. Besides on a few moments, they have been transformed beyond the recognisable, just as Jackson has been transforming his physical appearance over the course of his short life.
