Klaus Lunde, also known as xerxes, was born may 7, 1973.

At the age of 14 he started composing electronic music using various odd sequencers and sound editing programs. lots of bad music was made, and various styles and genres were explored. In 1996, ambient music was discovered, and xerxes has since spent his time developing his own unique style.

His music has since been featured on numerous famous netlables and demoscene groups. In april 2006, the long awaited debut album from xerxes was released on Cardamar Music. It was printed in 300 copies and sold out in less than 30 days. All this despite the fact that it was released as a free download several months earlier (and still is available in the downloads section). A second album is in the works, and will be released sometime in 2007.
