If this appeals to you, make sure other objects are well out of your trajectory as you are spun around. |
I'm not sure if i would suspend myself, but i have a spinning platform that would work perfectly with either the mic placed on it, or a smaller amp.
it's funny to imagine lennon spinning in front of a microphone though...
