The general phenomenon of chuangzuo depicts a scene where youth perform their own music compositions with guitars or light instruments. The secondary setting of the fieldwork is based on related song-writing competitions, concerts and music camp, which were held in Penang and Kuala Lumpur. Observation, interviews and video recordings of important rehearsals and actual performance were rendered. The primary setting is gongzuofang in Penang, namely the Wanderers and CZMusic which have been actively involved in chuangzuo activities. Observation through fieldwork is rendered for this ethnographic research. The specific objectives are to produce a description on the settings of gongzuofang in Penang, an analysis of musical materials of chuangzuo, and a clarification of the identity and sustainability of chuangzuo based on the former two specific objectives. The primary objective of this study is to determine the identity and the sustainability of chuangzuo activities in Malaysia. Chuangzuo has emerged as a music trend through a music movement, and as a popular culture for youth in Malaysia, but the music of chuangzuo have not been described to the general public that is probably not aware of the identity in chuangzuo, the social aspects of chuangzuo as in a gongzuofang, and also how the music has sustained so far.
