  • Ray Shulman (* 8. Dezember 1949 in Portsmouth, England) ist ein Musiker und Gründungsmitglied der Progressive-Rock-Band Gentle Giant. 1966 gründete er unter dem Pseudonym „Simon Dupree“ mit seinen Brüdern Derek und Phil Shulman die Popband Simon Dupree and the Big Sound. Zu den Mitgliedern der Gruppe gehörte zeitweise auch Reginald Dwight, der später als Elton John bekannt wurde. Mit Kites gelangte die Gruppe 1967 bis auf Platz 9 der britischen Hitparade. Weitere nennenswerte Erfolge erzielten Simon Dupree and the Big Sound nicht, so dass die Shulmanbrüder sich 1970 in Gentle Giant umbenannten und ihren Stil radikal änderten. Wie seine Brüder war auch Ray Shulman ein Multiinstrumentalist und spielte Bass, Trompete, Violine, Schlagzeug, Perkussion und Gitarre. Er war einer der Hauptkomponisten von Gentle Giant und vornehmlich deren Bassist. Nachdem sich Gentle Giant aufgelöst hatten, schrieb Ray zunächst von 1982 bis 1986 Musik für Fernsehen und Kino. Ab 1986 produzierte Shulman mit The Sugarcubes Songs wie Life’s too good, The Sundays' Reading, writing and Arithmetic oder auch Ian McCullochs Candleland. Diese Lieder hatten großen kommerziellen Erfolg, vor allen Dingen die ersten beiden, die über 1 Million Mal in den Plattenläden verkauft wurden. Außerdem spielte Ray den Bass auf dem Album 69 von (er ist auf den Liedern Crazy Blue, Baby Milk Snatcher und Spermwhale Tripover zu hören). Er spielte auch auf dem Album Americana von Kane. Später nahm Ray zwei Platten unter dem Pseudonym „Head Doctor“ bei Millennium Records auf. Er erscheint auch auf einem Techno-Kollektion-Album. Ray Shulman schrieb für PC-Spiele wie Privateer 2: The Darkening oder Azrael’s Tears die Hintergrundmusik. Weitere Musiker, mit denen Ray Shulman zu tun hatte, waren (er spielt Violine auf seinem Album), (auf dem Album Emotions Park), sowie . (de)
  • Raymond Shulman (né le 8 décembre 1949) était un musicien écossais et le plus jeune des trois frères Shulman du groupe rock progressif, Gentle Giant. Shulman est né à Portsmouth. Son père était un trompettiste dans un groupe de jazz, et c'est le premier instrument qu'il a appris à jouer. Il a ensuite appris le violon et la guitare et a été formé pour l'Orchestre national des jeunes de Grande-Bretagne, mais son frère Derek l'a convaincu de rejoindre son groupe Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, qui a ensuite évolué pour devenir Gentle Giant. Pendant les journées d'enregistrement de Shulman dans le groupe en tant que bassiste, sa virtuosité était souvent comparable à celle de bassistes tels que Chris Squire de Yes. Pourtant, comme Mike Rutherford de Genesis, Shulman jouait également d'autres instruments. Semblable au rôle rythmique du groupe d'art-rock Family, Shulman a parfois doublé les violons, les flûtes à bec, les trompettes, les guitares acoustiques et électriques. Shulman et Kerry Minnear ont composé ou coécrit une grande partie de la musique de Gentle Giant. Shulman a toujours joué pour Gentle Giant depuis le début en 1970 jusqu'à la dernière tournée en 1980. Pafr la suite, l est devenu producteur de disques à la fin des années 1980, travaillant notamment avec les Sugarcubes, les et Ian McCulloch. Il a également créé de la musique pour plusieurs jeux vidéo, tels que Privateer 2 et Azrael's Tear, et a sorti deux EP trance sous le pseudonyme Head-Doctor. (fr)

He went on to learn violin and guitar and was primed for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, but his brother Derek convinced him to join his band Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, which later evolved into Gentle Giant. During Shulman's recording days in the band as a bass guitarist, his virtuosity often compared to popular players such as Yes's Chris Squire. Yet, like Genesis's Mike Rutherford, Shulman was quite adept at other instruments as well. Similar to the role of the rhythmist in the art-rock band Family, Shulman sometimes doubled on violin, recorder, trumpet, acoustic and electric guitars. Shulman and keyboardist-bandmate Kerry Minnear composed or co-wrote much of the music for Gentle Giant. Shulman was in Gentle Giant from the beginning in 1970 to the last tour in 1980. He went on to become a record producer in the late 1980s and 1990s, working with the Sugarcubes, the Sundays, the Trash Can Sinatras, and Ian McCulloch, The Defects among others. He also has created music for several video games, such as Privateer 2 and Azrael's Tear and released two trance-EPs under pseudonym Head-Doctor. (en)
