VAST is an American alternative rock band based in Seattle, Washington. The acronym VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater and is the main creation of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby. The band is signed to 2blossoms, an independent record company created by Crosby himself.
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. Vocally similarities range from classic rock to post-grunge. In recent years, however, VAST's sound has been more identifiable with acoustic rock in releases such as April and Me and You.
History
Early years
Crosby's musical endeavors began at a young age of 13, where he was noted in Guitar Player Magazine as a promising guitarist of the future. He often recorded home demos with nothing more than a guitar and a drum machine, sometimes a bass player with him as well. He nearly signed onto a guitar-based label Shrapnel, but turned it down to work on his budding songwriting skills. Crosby eventually left Rancho Cotate high school in Rohnert Park, California, to do home study and begin his own band, which he dubbed VAST. Much like fellow alternative rock/industrial band Nine Inch Nails, Crosby was the only member but found a touring band who knew the songs well enough to play with him live.
Vast is a science fiction novel by Linda Nagata, part of her loosely connected "Nanotech Succession" sequence.
Background
The main characters of Vast are the crew and passengers of the Null Boundary, who are fleeing from the alien Chenzeme. The Chenzeme, using the "cult virus" and other, more conventional, weapons have destroyed much of human-occupied space, leaving the inhabitants of the Null Boundary to attempt to discover why.
While Vast is a standalone novel, there are links to The Bohr Maker, Tech-Heaven and Deception Well, primarily in the form of two shared technological innovations: advanced nanotechnology and "ghosts", a name given to electronically preserved human memories and personalities.
Literary significance and reception
The SF Site gave the novel a positive review, commenting on the balance between the relatively straightforward plotline and the complex character interaction.

Trino Community Broadcast 56: The vast possibilities of Trino and VAST
Part database, part data warehouse, part data lake, describing VAST in one sentence is not the easiest undertaking. You can talk about features like deep write buffers with underlying flash columnar storage, the automatic contextual layer added on top of the data, or the similarity-based global compression that more than makes up for the smaller columnar chunks and makes it so much faster to find exactly the data you're looking for. Best part? It pairs brilliantly with Trino.

VAST is an American alternative rock band based in Seattle, Washington. The acronym VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater and is the main creation of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby. The band is signed to 2blossoms, an independent record company created by Crosby himself.
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. Vocally similarities range from classic rock to post-grunge. In recent years, however, VAST's sound has been more identifiable with acoustic rock in releases such as April and Me and You.
History
Early years
Crosby's musical endeavors began at a young age of 13, where he was noted in Guitar Player Magazine as a promising guitarist of the future. He often recorded home demos with nothing more than a guitar and a drum machine, sometimes a bass player with him as well. He nearly signed onto a guitar-based label Shrapnel, but turned it down to work on his budding songwriting skills. Crosby eventually left Rancho Cotate high school in Rohnert Park, California, to do home study and begin his own band, which he dubbed VAST. Much like fellow alternative rock/industrial band Nine Inch Nails, Crosby was the only member but found a touring band who knew the songs well enough to play with him live.
something's quite not right again sleep escapes me, far away you're the whisper in the back of my head teething, serrated and smiling knee-deep in this hopeless wreckage a heartbreak to tear me apart swallowed by the vast, all-consuming demanding you here this uncontrollable hell a lightless abode a sleepless complete black where ghosts come to me through every hole in each and every wall wish i could just sleep wish i could explain wish i could change the way of things wish i would fall away it's a slow closure a cold shape crawling behind me a storm approaching a darkness always closer i ever thought it could can never see it coming the world i'm in is empty outside i think i choke somehow i can't help thinking there is no place for me (the noise in my head won't leave) "all fled--all done so lift me on the pyre the feast is over and the lamps expire."
