ENCOUNTERS

Analogue Encounters is a space for attentive listening and reflective seeing.

I’m Howard Salmon, a physicist and radiation safety officer. While my professional life is defined by clinical precision, my personal world is shaped by the tactile: the weight of a vinyl record, the chemistry of a photograph, and the deliberate pace of careful listening.

I see the world through this dual lens. To me, a great album is architecture and physics made audible. It is a convergence of history and sound that reveals its secrets only when we stop to truly listen.

This site lives in the meeting place between science and art, precision and feeling. Whether it’s a deep dive into a prog-rock masterpiece or a reflection on the grain of a black-and-white print, every entry begins with a signal worth hearing — and the belief that in the quiet, we find our common ground.
