hey hey guys- so I'm doing a documentary score and the vibe request atm is for '1930's/family dropping dead on the trail'... I've been struggling to hit the mark but I think this is close

unmixed but do you think this is 'dust bowl' vibe enough? I've considered instrumentation and feel like the real character is from the noises the squeezebox makes?

all input greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

Dynamics of the squeeze box sound too flat to me. Needs some defined swells, dips and timing variation to add excitement.

 

You can compare yourself.

Arrangements were a lot simpler back then.
