Gestern wurde bekannt, dass der Filmmusikkomponist Norman Corbeil verstorben ist. Ich selbst kannte ihn leider nicht so recht.. aber es ist immer schade, wenn die Filmmusikwelt eine ihrer Stimmen verliert..

 

Hier ein sehr guter Artikel über ihn

 

Some sad news has streamed in and hit the video game community. Music has a huge impact on the ears that the medium nestles itself in. Video game music helps tell the story of the game it is composed for. Heavy Rainwas known for being a title that danced on the emotion of the player and David Cage, as well as the team from Quantic Dream, executed this so well.

The composer of the Heavy Rain soundtrack, Normand Corbeil, passed away yesterday at age 56. First spotted on Gaf, it was confirmed on The Cancer Forums by a user, Orly83, who is said to be Corbeil's son, as he posted:

"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."

 

 

His son's signature on the forum reads:

"- Dad, 56, diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer August 15, 2012.
- Dad passed away January 25, 2013 at 2:56 PM."

Here are some quotes from those who have worked with him that can explain his passion best, including words from David Cage, from Corbeil's official website:

“The Marriage of the music and the moving image is perhaps the most powerful form of communication that exists.

I am deeply grateful for Normand’s sensitive and deeply committed contribution to my film.”

Norman Jewison

“The first notes raise the hairs on the back of my neck; Ethan's theme fills the studio, swelling with emotion from the breath of the brass and the stroking of the strings. Ethan is born for the third time, first in the writing, secondly in the image and now in the music. This theme will give colour to Ethan's story.”I wouldn't give up my place for anything in the world.”

David Cage

This saddens our hearts to hear this news and our condolences go out to the family he has left behind. His music will remain with all of us and we know that those who knew him will be stricken with grief - we lend our hearts to you.

Here is his tremendous score from the Heavy Rain soundtrack, titled "Painful Memories".

Sehr traurig . Ich wusste gar nicht, dass er krank war.

THE ART OF WAR hat mir immer ausgesprichen gut gefallen.

Ich kannten den Komponisten seit Screamers. Heavy Rain war ne tolle Game Musik...
