I think of analog synthesis - using analog components to create audio waveforms which can be piped into an amplifier and speaker to create sound - as being different from analog computation like it’s described in the article. Maybe the best way to explain the difference is dedicated purpose-built analog circuits (like synths) vs analog computers that are more general and can be programmed.
