Headbanger is a unique HTML drum machine; a combined web site flooder and re-configurable rhythm generator. Enter a URL into headbanger and it attacks a site with the perpetual retrieval of a page. HTML is transformed into percussive sequences that trigger pre-defined sounds - headbanger comes with its own sounds but users can easily add their own.

Rhythms generated by headbanger 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 rhythms are generated. Several headbangers have been used together to build dense sound compositions, each one targeted to a specific web page.
