Yves Klein composed his first "Symphonie monotone" in 1947. A performance art piece in March 1960 at the Galerie International d' Art Contemporain in Paris had an audience dressed in formal evening wear watching the models go about their task (attractive nude women roll around in blue paint and imprint themselves on canvases) while an instrumental ensemble played Klein's 1949 The Monotone Symphony, which consisted of a single sustained chord.
