Can a 55-year-old instrument still inspire something completely new? During this conversation, Joe Richardson @jtrbass and Iz Avila @iz_avila explored how creativity isn't defined by the tools themselves, but by the way we use them. Whether it's a vintage synthesizer, an 808, or a brand-new piece of technology, the goal is the same: create something that makes people feel. Innovation doesn't always mean starting from scratch. Sometimes it means seeing familiar tools through a different creative lens. #ASUPROX2026 #ASUPopMusic #MusicIndustry #PhoenixMusic #ASU
