This is a bridge.
This bridge is not your typical "cable" bridge.
This one does not go to nowhere.
It is much stronger, and it is made with little pieces of metal in it.
It is sturdy, but it takes time and it does not always hold.
Like anything else, it can break.
Sometimes people will drive onto the bridge, and jump over the side.
Some people will jump right into water.
Some people will jump right onto the train tracks on the other side of the river.
The bridge has no train tracks.
It is the train tracks that make the bridge.

The bridge has no train tracks (Universal™ Love)

Francisco Uberto (b.1988) shapes his musical ideas with intuition from within the digital side of sound. In his music he manages expectations in the most imaginative ways possible, like a cold war of emotions. The horizon of his realizations extend from solo pieces to orchestral works with and without the use of electronics.

He received training in composition in Argentina (UNC), France (CNSMD Paris, and IRCAM), and Zurich (ICST - ZhDK), and was supported by several prestigious foundations from Europe, and Argentina since 2012. 

His music has been vibrating with renowned international ensembles since his arrival in Europe. Resident composer at Casa de Velázquez, Ibermúsicas, and Cité des Arts, Francisco, today is composer in residence at Couvent des Récollets in Paris.
