Vas has interests ranging from
music, painting, photography, writing, invention and business. He
has had several businesses from the successful restaurant, The
Athenian Room at Webster and Halsted in Chicago to big screen TV,
Visual Audio Sales and his present "How to Avoid Gum Surgery",
Albrite Inc. He has boated down the Mississippi on two occasions. He
invented a boat that is propelled by the energy in the waves rather
than the wind (example). Though not sports oriented he has played
football, weight lifted, skied, scuba dived and skydived. He has fasted and
meditated. He feels comfortable in the arts, sciences and philosophy.
 The
1980 Solos were
performed on a bright, ebony
Steinway (perhaps a 1909 K-52) in Chicago
which Vas claimed
possessed magical musical qualities, "its alive!" The 1992 improvisations were
performed in his Kurzweil-Proteus-Elka MIDI studio while leaving in
Greece. Click here to

Vas designed and has recently
completed building the Maxi, a unique 294 key midi keyboard
controller. This two
dimensional keyboard can be used with conventional or with alternate tuning key arrangements. He plans to produce a second CD as soon as he
fine tunes his
new midi music studio.
Vas has painted or photographed
most of his life. He has a special talent for the abstract and
patterns. To view
