That is where the focus is. With the instruments being silent, it works as an ampifier of sorts for us to be able to pick out those sounds.
As far as music being deliberate, that's just another arbitrary boundary that you're creating. On the song Master of Puppets, Kirk Hammet's string slipped off of the neck of his guitar and pressed against one of his pickups, making a note higher than he would be able to accomplish by just playing on the fretboard. Was this sound deliberate? No. Does this happy accident mean that the song (or at least that guitar solo) is no longer music during that moment of unintentional sound? No.
