<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.

<Freedom> banger is a unique HTML drum machine, a combined speech
limitation device and re-configurable rhythm generator. Enter a URL into
<freedom>banger and it attacks the site, as well as all possible ideals
of free speech. HTML transforms this silly "liberty" into REALLY COOL
HOUSE BEATS! <Freedom>banger comes with its own sounds but users can
easily add their own, as their own freedom is important. Rythms
generated by <freedom> banger are based on what YOU don't want said or
displayed, providing fascist fun for the whole family! To aid the user
the current Beats Per Minute (BPM) is displayed as well as a graphical
counter of just how much oppression you are really creating while hoping
to fight against it. Several <freedom> bangers have been used together
to build dense sound compositions, at the expense of the numerous
individuals whose liberty has been denied!
