PNABA
...is actually a correct answer. This challenge could have been filed
under either literature/entertainment, brand, or music category;
and have all the same answer (though with completely different meanings).
but this word has nothing to do with music
Actually, it has 2 meanings in music: one meaning is actually a general
musical composition technique which involved certain style
of melody layering [2]; but another meaning --arguably the one
more well-known to the general public-- is a name of specific piece
of music composed by Johann Pachelbel using this technique.
The latter is a cliche piece of classical music that I'm quite sure
you have heard before, and would easily recognize once its motif came up.
This one is a not-so-conventional arrangement, but have a listen:

That was me trying to hint that there is a symbolic puzzle/word pun
involved in the challenge; meaning the ASCII depicted wasn't directly representing the actual answer. Few examples of challenges
which I have been doing this are:
