Normand Corbeil, the award-winning composer who created the music for critically?acclaimed?games such as "Indigo Prophecy" and "Heavy Rain," as well as the stunning short film "Kara," died Friday following a battle with pancreatic cancer.?
Corbeil had been working on the music for the forthcoming game/interactive movie "Beyond: Two Souls" starring Ellen Page. His son, Laurent Corbeil, announced the news on a cancer discussion forum, writing: "My father, Normand Corbeil, 56, passed away today at 2:56 PM. He was a great composer and an amazing dad ... I am in shock."
Corbeil, who won a BAFTA award for the emotional and provocative music he wrote for "Heavy Rain" (see InGame editor Todd Kenreck's review below), had worked extensively with the game developers at Quantic Dream.
On Monday, Quantic Dream issued the following statement:
Over the past eight years, Normand had grown to become an integral part of our team. He had co-composed the original music of 'Fahrenheit' FAHRENHEIT (Indigo Prophecy) and was the composer of HEAVY RAIN. He had started working on Beyond.
Normand was not only one of the most talented composers of his generation; he was a formidable person, kind and humble.
Corbeil had also scored television shows and films such as "Human Trafficking," "Double?Jeopardy" and "The High Cost of Living," and was twice nominated for an Emmy Award for his work.
