about

In 1972 David Mysterious was commissioned by obscure Welsh director Gareth “Zanzibar” Hendry to compose a soundtrack to his upcoming folk horror film; Noson Y Wadd Wen (Night of the White Mole). It recounts the tale of a young Cardiffian family pursuing an idyllic life in rural Anglesey, whose dream quickly sours after discovering the corpse of the titular Albino mole, secreted in the fireplace of their Welsh cottage.

As events escalate they become embroiled in increasingly outlandish folk rituals and the rural beliefs they initially mocked, become ever more difficult to escape. With a dénouement that rivals the Wicker Man in its bleak and hopeless finale, the film is still spoken of in hushed tones by the few that saw it.

Falling foul of the censors and Zanizbar’s own fiery refusal to compromise his vision, the only final edit was destroyed, with all evidence of the films existence erased...until now. Following an extensive, tax related, investigation of the David Mysterious Archives, David is releasing four original cues from the film.

Yn 1972 gofynnodd Gareth “Zanzibar” Hendry, y cyfarwyddwr ffilm anadnabyddus, i David Mysterious gyfansoddi trac sain ar gyfer ei ffilm arswyd gwerin newydd, Noson y Wadd Wen. Mae’r ffilm yn dilyn hanes teulu ifanc o Gaerdydd sydd wedi symud i Ynys Môn i fyw bywyd cefn gwlad dedwydd. Ond ar ôl darganfod corff gwadd wen wedi ei guddio yn lle tân eu bwthyn mae eu bywyd delfrydol yn dechrau chwalu. Maent yn cael ei dal ymysg defodau brawychus y traddodiadau gwerin yr oeddent wedi eu gwatwar, heb obaith o ddianc. Gyda’i ddiweddglo tywyll ac anobeithiol,y gellir ei gymharu â’r ffilm The Wicker Man, mae Y Wadd Wen yn dal i achosi nosweithiau di-gwsg ymhlith yr ychydig â’i wyliodd.

Gwrthododd Zanzibar wrando ar y sensoriad a gwadu ei weledigaeth danbaid, felly dinistrwyd y golygiad olaf o’r ffilm a diflannodd pob ôl ohono…hyd yn hyn. Ar ôl ymchwiliad swyddogol hir trwy ei archifau, penderfynodd David Mysterious gyhoeddi pedwar ciw gwreiddiol o Noson y Wadd Wen.
