Man perceives three dimensions but this does not necessarily exclude the existence of higher spatial dimensions, also known as 'hyperspace'. Higher dimensions have been and still are the object of study and source of inspiration for many artists and scientists. Many efforts have been made to perceive hyperspace through vision. The audio 'visualization' of hyperspace may result in a better outcome, perhaps due to similarities between sound and hyperspatial gravitational waves, or even because the corresponding audio centers in our brain are better suited for perceiving hyperspace. Focusing on Varèse, we proceed to a concise historical retrospective of the efforts to approach fourth dimension through music. The interaction between artists and the world of science, as well as the intuition which forms an integral part of Art, have both been a decisive source of inspiration. Furthermore, we describe the characteristics of hyperspatial sound based on scientific discoveries. Finally, we present a logical approach to the hyperspatial audio system based on these characteristics and describe an interactive installation art on acoustic hyperspace.
