Gunung Sari is an experimental electronic noise duo composed of Nick Lesley and Stanley Ruiz, based in Brooklyn, New York. The name means "Mountain's Essence" in Bahasa Indonesia - a tribute to their love of Gamelan music and the ceremonies and rituals that go along with it.

Their music is a hybrid of improvised electronics bordering on noise. They use analog electronics, homebrew rudimentary synths, handcrafted wearable noisemakers, hacked radios, and percussions. At times they also do live audio-video processing using the computer.

They have performed a La Superette 2006 in Eyebeam, Cakeshop, Phi Phenomena at The Lucky Cat, BENT 2006 International Circuit-Bending Festival at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Pussycat Lounge, and at the Issue Project Room.
Gunung Sari is interested in topics like collaborative performance, multimedia events, spatial treatment of sound, and the raw power of noise.
