about

"Pantograph" (2001) refers to the name of a machine used for copying that writers used before the invention of the copy machine. The pantograph was connected to the writer's pen and moved in the same direction as the writer's hand, thus writing a second copy. The entire piece features parallel motion, an allegory to the use of a pantograph. However, if these machines were anything like the spirograph I played with as a child, not all goes smoothly. Reflective of this experience, there is a canon part way through at the 8th note which then slips to being at the 16th note towards the end of the piece.
