<head>banger is a unique HTML drum machine; a combined web site site
flooder and re-configurable rythm generator. Enter a URL into <head>banger
and it attacks a site with the perpetual retrieval of a page. HTML is
transformed into percussive sequences that trigger pre-defined sounds -
<head>banger comes with its own sounds but users can easily add their own.
Rythms generated by <head>banger are dependent on HTML structures and the
moment to moment speed of the connection. To aid the user the current Beats
Per Minute (BPM) is displayed as well as the total number of bytes stripped
from the site, whilst text from a site is 'hosed' onto the screen as rythms
are generated. Several <head>bangers have been used together to build dense
sound compositions, each one targetted to a specific web page.

<head>banger is designed by Andi Freeman as a research tool for the earshot
explorer, navigator and composer of sound on the web.
