In contemporary Indonesia, women composers can be considered as the Other. They are outnumbered, forgotten, and excluded in a patriarchal, male dominated music landscape. They are also disconnected from each other, and lost in the long history of Indonesian women composer's music and discourse. In 2021, amidst the darkest isolation as the world reeled from COVID–19, Indonesian women composers started to form a collective movement. This paper tells the stories of how women composers reconnected their ideas of solidarity through various online platforms. It captures an autoethnography of the networking process, one which seeks to follow the trace of musical exploration and resistance—a story of a woman becoming a composer in Indonesia
