A solid, immersive soundtrack can really add depth to the gameplay experience. I started composing in the late 90s, and I always had an interest in music for games, especially RPG or adventure genre games where I anticipate my more classical style works well. I've written a variety of pieces but prefer the challenge of developing new music to suit gaming environments to peddling off my reject pile.
I would love to be able to make a pittance doing what I love, but at this point, I'm not concerned about being payed unless someone else is making money off of my material - in that case, yes, I would expect compensation. If you're a starving artist or programmer, I'd love a chance to help you out with a soundtrack.
I have a recent composition I will paste a link to and some others on SoundCloud, I have lots of other samples if you would like to get in touch by email.
