The Absinthe Minded Professors combine victorian science fiction storytelling and classical music in a bizarre fusion that evokes a gritty future past that never was, popularly known as “Steampunk.” Drawing on historical seeds of nineteenth century history Joshua Safford creates strange fantasy that is colored by Mich Regier’s textured strings warping the classics. Both these artists are veteran performers of the Renaissance festival circuit, having toured the country, as individual artists as well as being part of bands and performance troupes for over fifteen years. Both have been involved in performance projects historical and surreal. For more information on collaborator Michi Regier please go to her website www.michimusic.com

Joshua is a unique storyteller and entertainer rooted in both oral and visual tradition. Unlike most magicians, who find stories to hang on their tricks as patter, Joshua's takes existing mythology and illustrates it through illusion.
