Everything in Life is Vibration (Albert Einstein). Everything has its own unique vibration, frequency, and sound. It means everything has a unique voice that is an expression of its vibrations and frequencies. Everything...snowflakes, crystals, flowers, take on their shapes according to their particular vibrations and responding to multiple vibrations, sounds, and voices of the universe. The universe is a choir of the myriad of voices. Each voice has to find the shape and expression to resonate with the universe. Each voice, if it is out of the connection with the choir of voices of the universe, is the solitary voice.
The Solitary Voice was premiered by the symphony orchestra of University of Maryland Baltimore County on November 22, 2015. Conductor: E.Michael Richards

The golden-eyed stars, gently ightning the skies,
Sounding orchestra-like, attacking, breathing, and vibrating,
They're lullabying for the sleeping earth...
But as the morning star's awakening a down,
Conducting them to fade through nights and constellations,
The golden-eyed stars are vanishing and melting in the heavens...
The earth continues to sing for them her lullaby:
It's time to sleep for golden-eyed stars.
- Rahilia Hasanova

Gaval Dash means "drumming stone." The Gaval dash is a huge, rounded piece of the stone that is the unique creation of nature. It produces sounds and overtones when you drum or touch it with any other piece of stone. The Gaval dash is in Gobustan - a place near Baku, Azerbaijan. Here you can meditate and contemplate strangely-shaped rocks and hills, murals with pictographic calendars and "dancing people" images, mud volcanic geysers touching and feeling an inner choir of the Gaval dash. This place is full of mystery. Nobody knows who could lift such a heavy but sensitive "drum" on top of the cone-shaped rock. Perhaps the Gaval dash consists of iron or some other chemical elements. It could be an explanation for its extraordinary timbre. No doubt, it was used for ritualistic dances of ancient people who lived here many centuries B.C.
This piece was recorded at a concert that took place at the University of Maryland Baltimore County in 2018, performed by Dorotea Racz, cello and Hui-Chuan Chen, piano.
