"Everyday of your life be ready to catch the idea that will come to you and writing down," said Corbeil [http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9073001]. "It is a hard job. Just work and rework and rework. This is for me the process. But at the same time it is a privilege to be able to make your living with what you love to do."

That's unfortunate, the soundtrack was probably the finest part of Heavy Rain.

I didn't know he got a BAFTA award.

They really aughta dedicate the game to him.

Also, this.

RIP Mr. Corbeil.

I enjoyed some of his work in Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain a lot, and have no doubt it will/would have been the same for Beyond: Two Souls.

While I am not a big fan of heavy rain, the music was really good. So they better dedicate beyond to him.
Also:any kind of cancer death always makes me sad

This is really sad news as Heavy Rain is still my #1 PS3 title to date and the music just added more depth to the game.
This theme seems fitting for Mr. Corbeil

R.I.P.

Sad news and I hope he lived a full life. Certainly his work on Heavy Rain was amazing and, if they do include the work he was doing for Beyond: Two Souls, then I'm sure it will be something to listen to.

Good luck on your next journey, Mr Corbeil.

R.I.P. Man, you were absolutely great.

Tragic, he left his mark in good and emotiionally charged music and I hope finished his final work on Two Souls.
