"The February 2014 Hal Saflieni Hypogeum Acoustics Project was conducted in one of the world's oldest human-made spaces under conservation conditions that include controlled humidity and extremely limited light exposure. A few images were possible to lift from video documentation of the event. The one that appears on the back cover of this book was selected not for ist fine photography, but for the spirit of imminent adventure and respect for the site that was captured in a split second of brightness" (cubierta posterior)
