Program Notes: Stud Pepper (from my song set Food Porn) is my tongue-in-cheek valentine to the excesses of foodie culture, and the ongoing social media tendencies to document each and every fabulously consumed meal. Stud Pepper uses real and imagined food advertisements, playing with the idea of how the language of food has become over sensualized and over sexualized. It’s obsessive in a silly way, which is pretty much how most of us foodies approach dining (guilty).
