French Canadian composer Normand Corbeil -- known in gaming for his soundtrack for the PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain -- has passed away after battling with pancreatic cancer. He was 56 years old.
Word comes from NeoGAF (via Polygon), which spotted this thread on a cancer support forum. The thread was reportedly started by Corbeil’s son, Laurent Bastien Corbeil.
Corbeil, born in Montreal, Quebec on April 6, 1956, was a well-known Quebecois composer with an extensive resumé. In addition to his work on Heavy Rain, he was also working on the score for Quantic Dream’s next PS3 exclusive, Beyond: Two Souls. It’s unclear if Corbeil was also connected to Quantic Dream’s still-unconfirmed next generation PlayStation game, presumably named Singularity.
We’ve reached out to Sony -- the publisher of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls -- for official comment, and will update if and when we hear back. In the meantime, our thoughts and kindest regards go out to the Corbeil family.
