A virtuosic debut from a gifted violinist searching for a new mode of artistic
becoming
How does time shape consciousness and consciousness, time? Do we live in time,
or does time live in us? And how does music, with its patterns of rhythm and
harmony, inform our experience of time?
Uncommon Measure explores these questions from the perspective of a young Korean
American who dedicated herself to perfecting her art until performance anxiety
forced her to give up the dream of becoming a concert solo violinist. Anchoring
her story in illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, Hodges
traces her own passage through difficult family dynamics, prejudice, and
enormous personal expectations to come to terms with the meaning of a life
reimagined-one still shaped by classical music but moving toward the freedom of
improvisation.
