Artist History Autodidact was formed at the beginning of 1995; guitarist/vocalist RKF is the only permanent member (often the only member, period). Due to the length and nature of Autodidact songs (often featuring as many as six to eight separate guitars) the "band" rarely performs live. One release is available on Monotremata Records with more to follow.

Instruments guitars, drums, bass, skipping CDs, many efx pedals, broken glass, running water, etc.
