As Above, So Also Below — a Musical Ambigram
(YouTube can be found below.)
usic, like the cosmos, has its hidden symmetries.
Turn it
over, and it tells you the same truth - yet not the same.
Right becomes
left, above becomes below,
but the song still breathes.
In the medieval mind, this was the alchemist's motto:
what happens in the
heavens finds its echo on earth,
and the hidden mirrors the revealed.
A musical ambigram is not just a puzzle -
it's a reminder that reality is
more fluid than it looks.
That our viewpoint shapes our hearing,
but
the mystery beneath remains whole.
—William Zeitler
