No, it's the same question as before, and the answer is that it is 
significant to *enabling* it, but does not necessarily 

In radio you have a carrier wave, which is like grammar in speech.

But the actual signal is the message.

In music, the acoustical underpinnings may very well be the carrier 
wave, the fundamental ether by which the communication is enabled, 
but it isn't the message itself.
