Jordan Reyne is an experimental electronic/folk-industrial musician from New Zealand. She combines vocal melody with narrative and urban "found sound" to do what she describes as "recreating the sonic context of characters". She has been nominated 3 times for a New Zealand Music Award and wrote and released 5 CDs with the assistance of the New Zealand Arts Council (Creative New Zealand). She performed with a live band between 1999 and 2005 which she called "Dr Kevorkian & the Suicide Machine". Two of her CDs were also recorded under this moniker, which gained her attention and a following internationally in the darkwave music scene. Jordan relocated to Germany in 2006.
