Analog Missionary is a DreamProg band from the Southern USA. Utilizing atypical instrumentation (such as theremin, Chapman Stick, Dumbek, Artiphon and cello) and world-music influences, they have released 3 full-length albums: Transmitter, the soundtrack for the 1920's silent film classic Nosferatu (entitled Voyage of the Demeter), and ARC.

The band has developed a vast, multi-layered, cinematic sound that sweeps from grandiose movements of intense power to calmer moments of emotive introspection. Their sound has been characterized as sultry, acoustically complex, sonically textured, and eclectic art-rock. The band's strength is their ability to balance the fragile with the ferocious. Currently they are completing their 4th album and touring the region.
