Kerry Churchill Minnear (born 2 January 1948, in Shaftesbury, Dorset, England)〔(Gentle Giant at ''NME'' )〕 is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist who played in the progressive rock band Gentle Giant during the 1970s. Minnear received a classical music education at the Royal Academy of Music, with a degree in composition. Contributing to the band's success as one of the composers and arrangers, Kerry, unlike most of the keyboardists of his time, chose to create natural sounds from his keyboards. Like the other members of Gentle Giant, he is quite adept on a number of instruments including the cello, drums, guitar,〔()〕 bass, idiophones, recorder, theremin, and tympani. Minnear also composed the soundtrack to the 1996 video game Azrael's Tear, along with bandmate Ray Shulman. He now lives in Solihull (West Midlands) with his wife Lesley and has three children, Sally, Sam and Susie. Still part of the Gentle Giant franchise, he also composes for film and television. In the years since the disbanding of Gentle Giant, Minnear has been a teacher and a church musician, since he is a Christian.〔(Mojo interview with Kerry Minnear ), archived on Gentle Giant homepage, retrieved 23 October 2008〕 He and his wife Lesley own Alucard Music, which releases Gentle Giant CDs and DVDs. His son Sam Minnear is a founding member of alternative pop band Misty's Big Adventure. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerry Minnear」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
