ARE Live: Project Management Mock Exam | ARE 5.0 PjM Exam 2025

Younes Key Live @ Moroccoland (Special Edition)

Are you planning to build or renovate your home? Understanding how architecture firms work can make the entire process smoother and more rewarding.

First, it begins with a consultation. This is where you share your ideas, needs, and budget. The architects listen and guide you with insights based on your space, location, and goals.

Next comes the design phase. Architecture firms will create conceptual layouts, followed by detailed drawings and 3D visualizations. This stage helps you visualize your future home and make any changes before construction starts.

Once the design is finalized, most firms assist with contractor coordination and site supervision to ensure the project aligns with the approved plan.

Working with experienced architecture firms in Chennai ensures your home is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and functionally efficient.

So whether you're starting from scratch or redesigning your current space, partnering with a professional firm adds expertise, innovation, and peace of mind to your project.

EARLY GRAVE

Memoria damnum

Dolla143 est un artiste émergent de la scène trap underground, porté par une énergie sombre et brute. Inspiré par des figures comme $uicideboy$, Pouya, Ghostemane ou encore Freddie Dredd, il mélange des sonorités lourdes, des ambiances oppressantes et des flows incisifs. Reconnu pour sa signature vocale filtrée à l’effet téléphone, donnant une couleur singulière et marquante à ses morceaux, il impose une identité sonore immédiatement identifiable. Fidèle à une esthétique de l’ombre, Dolla143 cultive le mystère visuel, laissant sa musique parler d’elle-même et renforçant l’aura obscure qui entoure son univers.

Everything said has already been said! But…

Coronardefekt is an electronic music project from Halle (Saale), Germany, that has been developing the connection between sound, technology, and emotion since the early 1990s.

My journey began in 1992, when a fascination with electronic sound generation and synthesizers laid the foundation for everything that followed. Influenced by Depeche Mode, Front 242, Delerium, Front Line Assembly, Dead Can Dance, and many others, I began creating my own sonic worlds – dark, driving, and emotional.

My music moves freely between Electro, House, EBM, Hip-Hop, and experimental sound structures – everything that inspires, excites, and moves me. I produce with a variety of synthesizers and analog sound sources – including the Yamaha MOXF6, Microkorg-S, Deepmind 12, Arturia Microbrute, Yamaha DX7, and Behringer TD-3-BU – with Ableton Live as the creative hub.

Each track is created with a focus on atmosphere, texture, and emotion – an expression of my personal sound journey. So far, all releases have remained private, but the essence lies in the creative process itself: sound research, sound design, and the pure joy of electronic music.

I don’t see myself as a product, but as an ongoing experiment – a project that grows, transforms, and continually redefines itself.

“Music is not a destination, but an eternal journey – and the processing of emotions.”
