The interview  was  done  by Vector of
Majic 12.

VECTOR:

Well,  before  we  begin asking you all
kinds of nasty questions please tell us
something  about  yourself  e.g.   real
name,    age,   occupation   and   what
computer/sound equipment do you own?

DR.BULLY:

-  Hey  mum,  what's  my real name ? 
-  Wasn't  it Trond Erlend Brattvoll !?
- Yeah, I think that's right...
(Really fun? Eh...)  
Well,  I  was  born early in 1972, so I
should be around 21 years old.  Now I'm
working  in  an  electrical  store, and
will  do  that  for  only one year, coz
I've  not finished with my study.  I've
finally  got  my A1200, and that should
be  my  8th computer since I started in
the   business.    Without  the  amigas
internal soundchip I use a Roland U-110
sound   module   (which  have  16  bits
samples and 16 channels polyfoni) and a
Midifex  Alesis  (soundmixer).   To get
the  sound throught my ears I use a JVC
amfibier  connected  to  2  X 240 Watts
selfbuilt loudspeakers.

VECTOR:

O.k  that  was  that.   First  of  all:
Welcome  back  to  the scene.  You have
been  silent  for well over a year now,
due  to  your  duty  in  the  army, but
finally  they  have let you out of your
cage.  Do you enjoy the free life?


DR.BULLY:

Yes of course I do, but I'll say that I
liked   the   army  life  too.   Coz  I
advanced  to be a Corporale, not only a
simple soldier (he,he).  May be I'll be
back  in  the  army as a rescueman next
year?

VECTOR:

Your first module called "Comeback?" is
finished.   It's  the  first module you
have  made  since  last summer.  Do you
consider yourself in-shape after a year
vacation?


   Vektor                    Dr. Bully

DR.BULLY: Well, I composed one or two
modules  around   chrismas   time, so
            "Comeback?" is   the  first
            module  from  me this year.
            I  used  "Comeback?" to get
            in-shape, when I started on
            that  tune  I  felt me as a
            beginner,   you   may  hear
            that...

            VECTOR:

            Like   normal  people  need
            food  to  survive,  do  you
            need Protracker?


 DR.BULLY:   If I get a choise as:  10
 Cheeseburgers  or  a  new  version  of
 Protracker?   I'll take PT.  (Coz I'll
never  be  able to eat 10 burgers!  He,
he?...)

VECTOR:

Do  you  have any projects that you are
working  on  at  the  moments?  Rumours
says  that  you are making the 3.  part
of  the song called Resonance.  Is that
true,  and if so what type of song will
that  be?   Will  it  be  just like the
others?

DR.BULLY:

Yes,  I'm already tracking at Resonance
III  (it will be finished when you read
this),  it  will  be  like  Resonance I
without  drums...   No,  to  be serious
I'll  say  that it's a typical Dr.Bully
style,  I've  always loved pan-samples.
If  you  have  heard some tunes from me
before  u  will  understand.   But I've
quit   all   the   piano-samples  after
Resonance II, people have got enough of
that.

VECTOR:

Now  over  to something else.  When you
for the first time heard that Commodore
were  to  release  a  new  Amiga called
1200, did you believe they would change
the soundchips in the Amiga?


DR.BULLY:

No,  but I hoped that they would change
it, like 16 bit, 8,12 or 16 channels.

VECTOR:

Did  you  get  dissapointed  when  they
still had the old fashion 8 bit system?

DR.BULLY:

Yes, I visited Commodore and would give
them some soundchips to lunch, but they
had already eaten it.  One afternoon in
1985   they  forgot  to  turn  off  the
soundchipmachine  so  it  produced some
billions  in  one night, therefore they
had  to  use the old chip in all Amigas
in the future.

VECTOR:

Would  you  pay  £100  more for a Amiga
1200 just to get 16 bit sound quality?

DR.BULLY:

Yes,  if  it's  compatible with the old
soundchip   and   have   more   than  4
channels.

VECTOR:

Now  a  change  in  the  subject again.
When  you started making music, back in
1989,  did you think the musicians were
producing more modules at lower quality
than they are today?

DR.BULLY:

Yes I think, coz there were not so many
good  musicians at the scene in 1989 as
today.    Most  of  the  musicians  get
better  after  some years at the scene.
And  the  trackers  has been better and
better.  But of course many of the best
modules  ever made on an amiga has been
given out around that time.

VECTOR:

If  you  got the chance, would you work
commercially?

DR.BULLY:

Well,  if you are thinking about making
music  to  games etc.  no, coz my style
will not sound good in any games.

VECTOR:
