Myfanwy took part in the Australian Art Orchestra (AAO) 2018 Creative Music Intensive, held over two weeks in the remote hydro-town of Tarraleah in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. The intensive, lead by AAO Creative Director Peter Knight—who had previously worked with Myfanwy on an album project in 2009—brought together an extraordinary community of musicians to explore intersections between Korean, Yolŋu (First Nations North East Arnhem Land), and contemporary Australian experimental music traditions. AAO leading artists including Christopher Hale, Sunny Kim, Daniel Wilfred (Yolŋu songman), and Bae Il Dong (Korean Pansori master).

Throughout the intensive, Myfanwy participated in collaborative ensemble work, improvisation, and deep listening practices. She improvised sounds and music using her Tasmanian Huon Pine and Sassafras viola with a Critter & Guitari Kaleidoloop, weaving acoustic resonance with layered electronic textures. The residency culminated in a public performance at MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) in Hobart, sharing boundary-crossing works shaped by the fortnight’s collaborative and intercultural exchanges. The Creative Music Intensive continues to influence Myfanwy’s practice, affirming music as a transformative space for cultural dialogue, listening, and creation.
