"Synergetic Creation of Music, Magic, and Love"
In this episode, we are joined by Chen and Charito of AstraLogik. We discuss their creative synergy, what they have learned through their music, how their intention with music sets them apart, their journeys to becoming the people they are individually and how that translated into their relationship, what they are creating now, and more.
