> Or you can represent the music as instructions to performers or synthesizers (ie notation) and you've got as many dimensions as you want.
These are just multiple signals in a single dimension (time).

1 physical dimension. Mathematically, each signal is a dimension.
We still call images "two-dimensional" when they're colored. There is a difference between continuous dimensions like space and time, and discrete dimensions like color channels in an image, or like instrument "tracks" of a song. The latter can have correlations, but they'll be sparse associations, rather than structural formulaic ones.
