>>Say, for the sake of my example, time is the fourth dimension. How would a four-dimensional being perceive music?<<
in much the same way as one of us might percieve a three-dimensional object? the assumption is always that the same (limited) set of sensory inputs is available. in any case, a description that assumes anything else is going to be difficult for regular humans to appreciate.
I know a band called "air sculpture" who got their name from such an attempt (to describe music, that is); can't remember the source now though.
during periods of an altered state, it is sometimes possible to appreciate the beginning, middle & end of an otherwise "rolling" experience. sometimes though, this is because one's own sense of the passage of time is altered, probably by a change in the way one's short-term memory is processed. experience of this is not without merit in the creative arts, but it's not recommended for everyday life!
