What were once thousands of acres of row crops and cattle are now restored to natural please visit habitats. Before 1900, the land was a backwater environment of lakes, prairies, wetlands and forests. But the rich soils wtvp. org adjacent to the river attracted farmers in the 20th century. They erected levees to keep the river water out and pumps to remove water from the fields. The natural flow of the Illinois River was altered, causing issues with W more frequent flooding, overflow that the backwaters once absorbed. With help from The Nature Conservancy, Emiquon is experiencing a rebirth on the nearly seven-thousand acre plot of land.

Dr. Can KARADOĞAN ARALIK 2017 vi FOREWORD It was many years ago, I found out that I love this oxymoron, Magical Realism: During one of my inquisitive internet surfs about a book I read, I heard about such an art movement for the first time in my life and I was really astonished as if I had learned I have three kidneys. Because I bewilderedly understood that the environment of my favorite books, films and paintings — my taste of art, indeed — is actually magical realist. Since that time, a question has preoccupied my mind: How can Magical Realism also occur in music? During my education at MIAM, I engaged in electronic music and found opportunity to compose in different styles. While working with ―recorded real-world sounds‖, an idea occurred to me that Magical Realism can only be applied to music by using field recordings. So my goal here is not to engender an unique style, but rather to emphasize a creation climate for electroacoustic music as well as to draw attention to an art style which was lost in the shuffle.
