1) American industrial rock band
2) trance, alias of Bernie Eller
3) Drum n Bass
1) VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater, and is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and musician Jon Crosby.
VAST's sound is identifiable as ambient electro-rock with considerable industrial and acoustic influences, usually made with Crosby's traditional acoustic guitar, electronic instruments and processing, drum-driven tracks, and heavy bass. In recent years, however, VAST's sound has been more identifiable with acoustic rock in releases such as April and Me and You.
The musical outfit began in rather minimalist fashion when Jon was only sixteen, with the other members of the outfit being a drum machine and a bass player.
Their real rise to fame began when a local radio station granted consistent air-time to their demo tape, after which Crosby sent demo tapes to New York City recording companies, eventually signing with Elektra Records. Thomas Froggatt, Steve Clark, and Rowan Robertson made up the hastily-assembled band along with Crosby. After touring America and releasing their first album named simply Visual Audio Sensory Theater (1998), they began work on a second album, entitled Music for People (2000). Before it was finished, Robertson left in pursuit of a solo career. After auditioning, Justin Cotta was chosen to replace him. The new quartet began another US tour. In 2001, Cotta and Clark decided to leave the band to form their own.
VAST's next album, Nude, was preceded by the online release of the unmastered demo tracks, which were grouped into separate downloads known as Turquoise and Crimson . Some of the feedback from the fans regarding the demo tracks was taken into account when choosing the tracks for Nude, which was released on February 24, 2004. Two months after the release, the band began the new tour with a new lineup. Towards the end of 2004 when it became clear working with other labels was a bad idea, Crosby started his own label, 2Blossoms Records & Media, and began selling a double CD of the Turquoise and Crimson download albums from the VAST website, mastered and with new artwork, simply entitled Turquoise & Crimson. Strong online sales indicated that a retail release would be well received, and Turquoise and Crimson was officially released May 30th, 2006.
Crosby's model of selling cheap downloads of demo tracks before the completion of the recording process was repeated with the next album, April, which was available in an 'online version' before the album was finished. The final version included five new tracks and alternate (finished) versions of the tracks carried over from the online version. The release version of April is now available as a download from the VAST site, and they plan to release a limited collectors edition CD over the summer of 2007 before the retail release date is scheduled.

Three Doors
Vast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One speaks of truth and one speaks of my fears
My disabilities don't get in my way
I look to the future and live day to day
Three doors to go through
I only want the one that leads to you
They say there's three doors to go through
I only want the only that leads to you
And who's to blame I could assume
The loneliness of my white room
I saw the circles inside the squares
And yet it can be so to be aware
Three doors to go through
I only want the one that leads to you
They say there's three doors to go through
I only want the one that leads to you
Because only one leads to you
This is your only chance at immortality
I'll give you strength but I cannot give you the keys
Three doors to go through
I only want the one that leads to you
They say there's three doors to go through
I only want the one that leads to you
Because only one leads to you
The lyrics of Vast's song "Three Doors" seem to be about choices and the challenges of navigating through life. The singer seems to be in a vulnerable state of mind, possibly struggling with some sort of disability, when two voices present themselves to him. One voice whispers words of truth, while the other speaks of his fears. Despite his disabilities, the singer remains determined to look towards the future and live each day as it comes.
As the title suggests, the song revolves around three doors that the singer must go through. Although there are three options available, the singer only wants the one that leads to the person he is searching for. The repetition of the phrase "I only want the one that leads to you" emphasizes the singer's singular focus and determination to find what he is looking for.
Towards the end of the song, the singer seems to be offering someone immortality but acknowledges that he cannot give them the keys. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life, as well as the limitations of our power.
Overall, "Three Doors" is a lyrically rich and thought-provoking song that explores themes of choice, determination, and the pursuit of meaning in life.

Jon, You are simply amazing. I grew up listening to your music. It was a source of entertainment, inspiration, therapy, and most of all security. Each song evokes such strong emotions and memories. It's been over a decade now since I was first introduced to your music- My first exposure being the song, "Touched". Thanks for everything!
