About the Book:
Uncommon Measure explores the intricate relationship between time, consciousness, and music through the lens of a young Korean American violinist. After performance anxiety derails her dream of becoming a concert soloist, Hodges embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Blending personal narrative with illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, she reflects on family, prejudice, and the search for meaning. Through this genre-defying memoir, Hodges reimagines a life once defined by classical music, now moving toward the freedom of improvisation.
