Uhm, just the fact that the majority of musicians don't even know what topology is, yet their music still sounds great, is enough for me to believe your conjecture. All this maths talk reminds me about why I've started playing a lot more guitar and focusing on content/lyrics/melody in music.
You can get lost in the mathematics and never be able to communicate with an audience of anyone but geeks (self included). Music is communication, so as musicians we have a responsibility to communicate in a language that is understood by our audiences.
Of course, if you want to be bitter and elitist and feel that the audience needs to take a complex analysis class to 'get' your music...but the ladies still dance more to a hard hitting beat or a good ol' melody.

I don't have the impression that we need topology in order to access all that we need to do what we have to do. So far, I think that the interest of using topology in music is just so that we have topology and music
