Billboard Charting Monster Taxi Delivers 'Field of Dreams' - America Through Its Heartland
Billboard Charting Monster Taxi “Field of Dreams” Delivers a Musical Experience About Humanity - America Through the Lens of Its Heartland
MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, August 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- From the very first notes, “Field of Dreams” by Monster Taxi2 – the brainchild of Miami composer, producer, and musician, Jason Klein – elicits a primal, deep-seated emotion that lives within the heart of humanity. This captivating piece, which is both an extraordinarily well-done video and a song, pays homage to Klein’s travels with his daughter to parts of Midwest America and the memories they created and shared exploring their own field of dreams. The artist perfectly captures the heartbeat of America, and how its tapestry of resources is woven into the lives of everyone, both throughout history and today.
"Anyone hailing from this heartland knows full well the wondrous, magical feeling of wandering through corn fields. There is a certain excitement and enchantment about those neat, orderly rows that is quite unlike any other feeling. These are the fields of life that feed not only the body, but the mind and soul as well. These are the fields that feed us all. In the video, this particular ambiance is perfectly captured by award-winning cinematographer and director, Daniel Barrocas, who produced the video." - Monster Taxi / Jason Klein1
The Music Visual for "Field of Dreams" is both a powerful and emotionally moving experience. The majestic corn fields, so vital to humanity's existence, are as much a part of the human experience as is music. The piece takes the valuable lesson a step deeper and incorporates a poem by the late Mary Howitt which integrates beautifully into both the composition and video. The poem is narrated by Miami-based actor, singer, songwriter, recording artist, model, voice and piano teacher, Kahra Keyes3, who interestingly enough, grew up in the Midwest and went to college in Iowa. Kahra also appears in the video along with Jason Klein, his daughter, Shelby Klein, and Brian Scheinhoft, who plays acoustic guitar on the track. The mesmerizing keyboard-based music was composed and performed by Jason Klein, while the drums performed by Aaron Glueckauf add the quintessential “heartbeat".
“Field of Dreams” is a “must see” video and a necessary song for the “chill” playlist. “This beautiful tranquil and serene setting against the almost hip-hop music backing track, layers perfectly with the piano making this pure joy to listen too. This Field of Dreams is less about corn and more about cool.”
- Bill Kelly, Co-founder of Winter Music Conference
“Field of Dreams”, is an appropriate title for this song, with the melodic instrumentation, and spoken word. Once again, we experience the theater of the mind, with melodic movement of the music, transporting us to a place of inner peace and self-reflection, all to be brought back from a dream state, with a sense of positivity. Monster Taxi is showing how music transforms us, while fast becoming the new Pink Floyd of Electronic Music.
- Robert Kechter, Music Director at MXNext Dance Radio
