Revisiting Yves Klein, Monotone Symphony

As part of his anthropometries, he sometimes did public presentations in the 1960s that incorporated his Monotone Symphony from 1948 as part of the art experience.  It is a sustained chord that lasted 20 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of silence.  The extract in the link below lasts 1 minute (30 seconds of sound/30 seconds of silence).
