Rob Funkhouser was born in Dayton, Ohio and moved to Indianapolis shortly thereafter. For his ten years there, he never once thought about music nor did he listen to much except the radio in whatever car in which he happened to be riding. He moved to Richmond, Indiana about seven years ago and started listening to music seriously about two years later. Around the same time he started listening, he began to play the drums and compose for fun. After awhile, he started listening to more obscure music and eventually found the CDR culture waiting to be explored. He's played in numerous concert bands and music ensembles, including a Javanese Gamelan ensemble and African music ensemble. He released a CDR on Phantomlimb in May and is working on a contribution to the upcoming "Our Chaos" series. He is also currently running a review site, Hawaiian Winter Music Reviews. He will be entering the IU school of music this fall where he'll continue studies in composition and recording.
