Browse piano sheets by James McCawley on Zen Virtual Piano. At Treyarch, James McCawley works as a sound designer, and he is known for the Zombies easter egg songs and for the Dead Ops Arcade soundtrack. At Treyarch he worked as a sound designer and occasional composer and wrote some incidental music for Black Ops, including most of the background music for Dead Ops Arcade. A sound designer who also writes music on occasion points to a role where the two kinds of work run side by side. Alongside those songs, he also wrote the round stingers for Alpha Omega and Jingle Hells. McCawley wrote and performed Lovesong for a Deadman; in Alpha Omega a distorted version can play, and another rendition serves as the death song. On a YouTube video, Kevin Sherwood said the song reworks Lullaby for a Dead Man with the melody moved to major. A song that returns in distorted form and in another rendition, and began as a lullaby moved into a major key, suggests music meant to be reshaped for each use. The original soundtrack of Dead Ops Arcade 3 was composed by members of its audio team (James McCawley, Brian Tuey, Kevin Sherwood and Shawn Jimmerson), each of whom has contributed to Zombies over the years. Some of it is 8-bit inspired and some draws on 90s trance, and together it all makes a super-fun environment. He is credited as a songwriter and performer, with 38 recordings, four musical works and ten releases credited to him. A soundtrack shared among four members of an audio team, mixing 8-bit and trance influences, suggests a project built as a team effort.
