IN a project that fuses music, identity and global solidarity, a single word — ‘equality’ — has travelled across borders, languages and cultures to set a new Guinness World Records milestone.
Among the 195 voices behind the ambitious ‘195 Frequency Project’ is Muscat-based health scientist Ruby Saharan, who represented Oman in what she calls “one of the most extraordinary experiences” of her life. Within months, the initiative brought together women from every recognised country, each contributing their voice to a unified composition shaped through sound frequencies.
“It is more than a song”, Ruby says. “It is a global movement and a reminder that despite our differences, we are deeply connected through our shared humanity”.
For Ruby, who has spent over two decades in healthcare and now works closely with women on science-based nutrition and wellbeing, the project carried both professional and personal resonance. “Our voices are uniquely human — not just how we sound, but what we stand for. Our stories, emotions and lived experiences cannot be replicated”, she says, reflecting on the growing influence of artificial intelligence in modern life.
The scale of the project initially seemed daunting. “I was sceptical at first — whether something of this magnitude could even be achieved”, she admits. But what followed surprised her. “Women connected with warmth and a shared purpose and under the guidance of multi-platinum producer Maejor and Martina Fuchs, we broke a world record within a matter of months”.
Maejor, a Grammy-nominated producer known for integrating sound healing into music, explains the intention behind the composition. “We chose to use 528 Hz for the track — often referred to as the ‘love frequency’. It creates an energetic foundation where equality can flourish, encouraging empathy, respect and a deeper sense of peace”, he says.
Representing Oman, Ruby adds, was both an honour and a responsibility. “Living in Oman has shaped so much of who I am — it’s a country of warmth, dignity and quiet strength; and I was proud to carry that spirit into a project that speaks to the world”.
Her contribution also reflected a conscious cultural choice. “I chose to represent the Arabic language in recognition of the national identity. Language carries history and heritage — it felt important that Oman’s voice was heard in that way”.
At a time of global uncertainty, Ruby believes the message of ‘195’ carries added urgency. “Peace is not just a concept — it is something we must actively choose and embody. If this song does anything, I hope it reminds us that unity is still possible”.
The project’s conceptual backbone comes from The Frequency School, co-founded by Martina Fuchs, who views sound not merely as art but as a tool for emotional connection. “Many cultural traditions, including those in Oman, have long understood how rhythm and collective participation can foster belonging”, she says.
For Ruby, the experience ultimately reinforces a simple but powerful idea. “Unity is not abstract”, she reflects. “When voices come together with the right intention, they can create something powerful enough to inspire real change”.
