Oliver Nelson - The Pioneers (1974)

Follow
SoundtracksArchives

Music clips culled from the season 2 episode of "The Six Million Dollar Man" entitled "The Pioneers" (1974) in which lost and drugged astronaut David Tate (actor Mike Farrell) wanders in a deep Minnesota forest, then bionic man Steve Austin (actor Lee Majors) runs to locate him in order to save him, spots him in a pound and is forced to fight him.

Composer Oliver Nelson first writes a cue to describe the primitive mental state of drugged astronaut David Tate by highlighting a didgeridoo (an ancient Australian instrument used by the aborigines) melt with a classical melody dominated by a fast violin and supported by a military drum. At 00:23, the pace speeds up because the main protagonist runs and Nelson introduces a funky rhythm led by a bass guitar, a conga and a drum followed by brass and violins that redefines the main theme. At 00:56, the fastpaced tempo carries on full force. At 01:42, the martial violin sound without the didgeridoo returns for the big finish.
