WEIRD/SURREAL/EXPERIMENTAL GAME? I'LL WRITE YOUR SOUNDTRACK!

HELLO!
It's tough to really give a good example of my work because I tend not to save any of the songs I record (either I'm a perfectionist or my standards are too high), but just to prove that I really can do what I say I can, here is everything i have available online:

^a couple downtempo/experimental songs I released recently.

^something I recorded a couple years ago when I was learning how to use the equipment in my studio, it's not a very good example of my current style, but

If you need strange, surreal music to back a surreal, strange game, (to name a few of the classics, games like OFF, Yume Nikki, Lisa, SPACEEEE FUNERALLL) I would love to work with you on the soundtrack. Really, that sounds awesome.
I move all over the place musically, so I could really fit a variety of styles, but the instruments I use to record are vintage synthesizers, electric and acoustic guitars, drum machines, and whatever samples and field recordings I can piece together. The synthesizer I use can easily replicate 8-bit sounds if that's what you're looking for, however, I do warn that they won't be "real" 8-bit.
Pricing is most likely just for free. I'm doing this for fun, which is why I'll probably be picky with whether I agree to work on a project. Of course, if the game makes a profit, some sort of share or arranged payment would be nice, or just a small donation for the help in a free project. I don't mind, I'm mainly looking for exposure.
I'm sure this is probably missing a lot of essential information, but please don't just write me off if there's something I missed or your confused on something, ASK! The gist is, if you see some promise in those examples above, and you need someone to contribute music to a game you are involved in, I'm willing to help, maybe even for free, if your game sounds cool.
Hey, I love the songs on the site you linked. I am looking for music for my game. I think your style of music would go great with it. I love lo-fi stuff with maybe a few samples here and there, and I was thinking of doing a kind of noir jazz feel for the soundtrack, not too far from your 'Eachurning' track. Reminds me of a Soul Coughing song, if you know them. The game is a cyberpunk/paranormal/detective story called 'ExXception Draft', I'm currently writing/programming/mapping/doing everything else myself.

The feel of the game is very literary and in depth plot/conspiracy told through mostly conversation and exploration, so these kind of pieces would work great. I think I still have a page on this site but I don't update it, but I keep a tumblr at http://exxceptiondraft.tumblr.com/ where I post updates and random stuff I might use in the game (I have more finished than it appears on the tumblr) and I also have some sort of gameplay sequences, not final or anything, on my youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/superscottsmith/videos.

I've been working on it for a while and work on it a little every day, but it's a big project and I'm not sure when I'll release something. But I am thinking of splitting the story into chapters and releasing the first chapter somewhat soon, since the story is really epic, just to get it out there, I think it would support that well. Anyway, if you're interested, check out the site or send me a message, and let's see if we can put something together.
While I'm not really a big fan of most of the music you showed off, it does sound interesting. I'm planning a surreal game with dungeons, combining normal RPG with the strange parts of my mind. I would like a composer for this game, and to be a bit more specific, if this makes sense, I'd like the music to be "stylized". What I mean by that is:
Have it strange and surreal, but actually have it makes sense as well. For example, you see a mountain, the music should sound like you are on a mountain.
PM me for more details and in case you are confused by what I'm talking about.
