brasil 2
flying to brazil takes a long time. there are a number of things to busy yourself with so the time passes perceptually faster on such long plane flights; read, listen to music, watch movies, etc…. my favorite way to pass time on a plane is to program music. i thought it might be fun to include some of this plane flight music as background for some pictures. keep in mind, this was never to be heard in this form as there is no form, it was simply killing time, so be kind. who knows, some of it might pop up again down the road…
the guys headed back to texas after sao paulo. toni and i went to rio. it was amazing.

yellow WALL.
Those are gorgeous shots. I wish I could visit it too. May God bless you greatly there!
I like the background music you made for this entry. I hope you enjoyed it there! Did you get to drink guarana?? It’s the best soda in the world! Half my family is from Sao Paulo. A quarter of them are still there. I’ve been wanting to go back and visit. I love the food.. like quibe/kibe! Mmmm… and yes, yellow wall. I had to do a double take on that one. haha.. Ciao!
I smell a new single
lola’s right.. yellow wall, brown door!
Holy Crap! Where are my glow sticks when I need them? Such good programming. I also like that you guys went to Rio for some couples time. I have been doing vocational ministry about the same amount of time my wife and I have been married. It is so good to get the heck out of dodge every now and again and spend some couples time in a place where you don’t know anyone and you have no obligations or responsibilities to anyone other than your wife. Enjoy Africa, and update soon on what that has been like.
God Bless.
Love the new music. I work with a Brazillian and he said you can buy Guarana at the international section of Kroger on Germantown Rd in Memphis or at the Superlo Food on Covington Pike. So last night I went and hooked up a 12 pack. Who’s up for getting the shakes?
Nice pictures. Cheers.

(Sing) co-pa …. copaca-ba-na
Please explain the mysterious powers of the wooden door, I’ve never seen a wooden door before…
And the best english translation I’ve seen was at a church in Korea that said “Go and Sin More” in its pamphlet. Needless to say, there weren’t many english speaking members left at that church
Wow your pretty good at making music, you should like make a CD or something.
what did you use to program this music?
i like the background music. It reminds me of the mario brothers…
yessir. you have great reasoning skills.
why you no have images with you and/or toni and/or band members?
Your song sounds like a throw-back from the 80s.
Awesome pictures! Maybe its time to throw in the music-towel and pick up photography?
Kyle
PS. I actually LOVE your music, so PLEASE don’t throw in the towel…I would be sad.
Dude. David. I lived in Sao Paulo last year, and visited Rio last June. it’s amazing,isn’t it? I rock climbed up sugar loaf, and I was the sole interpreter for our group. scary. we only got lost once. and took the bus a few times. did you bus it at all in either place? Sao Paulo and Rio’s bus systems are crazy! so is the metro in Sao Paulo.
oh, and I think they don’t sell Mountain Dew in Brazil because Guarana is so popular. you can get it in mexican food sections sometimes in grocery stores. it’s made of the same stuff they put in energy drinks, you know
Understood the picture last the myself has not.
I enjoyed the music thoroughly. Excellent pictures as well. In fact, I think you should also start naming all your songs after where you were headed at the time. Of course… I’m not really sure how well a song called “Bathroom 4″ would turn out, but you never know. ;P
God bless,

I want a COOKIE
What did you ever do with the “I heart Bluegrass sticker” I sent you?
your song makes me feel like im playing nintendo.
that’s so cool ^_^ it matches too haha what happy music
even as unintentional as this may have been, if you scroll down and look at the pictures while you listen to the music, happiness cannot be avoided.
what do you programme your music with?
this sounds like something out of a video game.
ok i’m looking at all these again at home (not the office) where i can turn on my speakers, and the music makes for a much more enjoyable photo-viewing experience. well-done!
i prefer Jesus Mist over Jesus Clear. The lemon/lime flavours really hit the spot.
have you tried look at engrish.com?
What did you use to do the programming?
my bro is leading a short term missions team to brazil end of june and ill be in thailand working with sex traffic victims. i wish my hotel in thailand will look something like this…
What program did you use to make the music?
Things to do in Brasil- play soccer.
and…probably something else.
I find it ironic that Lola is the first to comment on the post with a picture of the Copacabana… 0_o
Also, your tune reminds me of The Postal Service. You should put out a solo CD like that or at least a demo to throw at kids at shows and say, “Hello, kid. Be educated in the ways of electronica as well as bluegrass.”
Free DCB electronica track to listen to? Check.
Jesus in the mist? Check.
Dude, I love your music! You need to make that song available for download… Dave, you sir, are one talented song programmer. I wish I was as good with Reason, or whatever program you used, as you are.
That song totally reminded me of one that would be in the Sims games. Maybe you could get paid for this David…oh wait, you already do!
beautiful
Hahaha that last picture reminds me of asian stationary items that are really badly translated… we call it Engrish.
http://www.engrish.com
haha its a funny site.
I want to go to Brazil! Not to see Jesus mist, but because Brazil looks beautiful.
Ok…Jesus mist can be beautiful too.
in the third picture, the wall is yellow, not the door. i thought by now you would know the difference between a wall and a door. perhaps you got confused because you were in a foreign country. but in america, we call the spot you walk through in order to enter a building a door, and the sides of a building are called walls. yellow is clearly the color of the walls. i don’t really care if you call a door a wall or vice versa, but you might lead to mass confusion.
Did you compose this tremendously tantalizing tune in Reason? If so, did you compose said tune using the TRACKPAD? Because that’s just crazy talk. Surely you did not take a small Oxygen keyboard or similar device onboard a multi-passenger trans-continental adventure machine (read: airplane)?
please teach me to be awesome like you are
I like it. All of it. Great pictures, great music. Thanks for sharing!
Also, I am jealous. Brazil is at the top of my list of places I want to visit. I’ll get there someday, but until then I’m jealous.
Will you be sharing the glory of it all with the new unreached tribe they just discovered in the Amazon?
It seems you’re not only an amazing song-writer, but also, a great photographer.
i predict this will be the theme music for the soon to be released dcb video game for ps3. listening to it makes be want to jump over turtles and collect mushrooms.
Shoot I forgot to pedalate today
beautiful pics- thank you.
Nice dude. Hope you guys are doing well out there. I think you should radiohead it and have people use your programming to create something unique with maybe vocals and other instrumentation and have people vote on their fav., just a thought. Say hi to Mike when you see him for me.
C.J.
the last pic is like the stuff you see on engrish.com.
LOL!!!!!
cool new programmed music.
What do you use to program this music? I dig it. In fact, I eProp it. Or at least I would if I had a Xanga account.
dude! that song is sweet.. wish i could kill time with that kind of style! ha.. what program did you use? reason? ableton?
very cool pictures…
love the descriptions…
those pics are awesome…
makes me really wanna go there, especially with this background music.

You should post that last pic on http://www.engrish.com
ROFL
honestly, how stoked are y’all?
Great song, man. Thanks for sharing.
The last pic makes me think of all the spanish/french/etc. stuff we butcher over here in the states.
Since you were composing on the trip, does that make the trip a business write-off?
David, awesome music…sounds like the makings of Sunsets and Sushi 2 International Version. Your last picture reminded me of some things I read while I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago for a mission trip. I understand you will be headed there with the Passion crew in October. You will love it. Tokyo is one of the coolest places I have ever been and they too do a great job of interpreting their Japanese signs into English. When you’re in your hotel room be sure to check out the instructions on how to work the automatic toilet/bidet. It’s pretty hilarious. Also, I don’t recommend acutally using the bidet…but that’s another topic for another day.
Cool music…..cool pictures…..I especially liked the rosary beads hanging from the rearview mirror in the foreground of the graffiti picture. See you in Elkhart on the 19th.
that whole electronica stuff isn’t really my cup of tea, but i actually thought it was pretty fitting for the pics and the whole feel of the entry (in a good way). nice work!
i dig the song, it reminds me of….katamari damacy. i can imagine you rolling up all of brasil!
…haha, cause that’s how you roll!! cause you fly (on an airplane)! ohhh cheese!
Your programmed music was quite happy and brought a smile to my face, so I consider it worth it. 1 eProp to you!
1st- great stuff, I love the music.
2nd- are those instructions for an excercise bike? At what point did it get more complicated than A. Sit Down and B. Pedal
Did the employees get so tired of having to teach people how to ride the bike, that is ever present, that they called Kinkos to print and laminate some instructions?
the music went along with the pictures great. i only wish there were more pictures. love ur travel blog
You guys were amazing at Elkheart, totally worth the 6 six hours up and back. I loved the tangent you made about the 80s and Super Mario Brothers. Also, if I rig a Guitar Hero guitar with a Coin sound button would I be as cool as you?
No?
….ah dang.. :*(
hello!
i just felt a surge of happiness listening to the music you posted.
like, pure crazy joy.
thank you so much.
(:
I rock climbed up sugar loaf, and I was the sole interpreter for our group. scary. we only got lost once. and took the bus a few times
Your love is relentless and I’m glad for it; I’m glad for it.
i recognize this now! birmingham (we are saved)!!
