He produces a diverse range of musical works, spanning from body music to experimental music. Hario founded the music group Candasuara, inspired by Silek, the traditional martial art of Minangkabau.

By integrating aesthetic, kinesthetic, and social interaction elements in every performance, Hario aims to provoke critical thought about the role of the body as a source of sound and artistic expression.

His works have been showcased on national and international stages, reaffirming his contribution to contemporary music development while expanding the discourse on cultural identity.
