Public Transport
I'm Duncan, and I record electronic shoegaze/dreampop as Public Transport.
When I'm not writing music, I do photography and also have a weekly radio show playing rock and electronic music on WERU.

About
I've been writing electronic music since 1998, starting with my DOS-powered Tandy 1200 before moving on to MOD trackers and eventually FL Studio.
In university, I was introduced to shoegaze acts like My Bloody Valentine and Lush as well as German artists such as Justus Köhncke and Ulrich Schnauss.
All these influences finally fit together while studying at the University of Salzburg and I started releasing tracks as Public Transport.
