Interviewing Technique The Cruxshadows are an alternative darkwave/synthpop band that have been very popular in the underground music scene for almost a decade. Recently, this band has gained a snowballing fanbase in Europe, particularly Germany. A German television show was present at the packed "Zillo" festival, which is sponsored by the German music magazine of the same name, and the lead of The Cruxshadows was interviewed following the phenomenal performance. Rogue, the lead singer, performer, composer, and creator of the band, spoke to a German reporter. Rogue had dramatically spiked hair and a creative performing costume. The reporter began by asking Rogue about how the band was formed, and he spun stories about his days studying art at Florida State University and the repeated dreams about a falling sentient satellite called The Angel IV that inspired him to create the Cruxshadows' first major album, "Telemetry of a Fallen Angel." The reporter also asked about the band's current lineup, and Rogue introduced first the newest band member, George on guitar. Next he introduced Rachel, the violinist, who is a major part of the band's unique and classically-inspired sound. Chris, who has been with Rogue in the band the longest, began as a roadie over a decade ago and has been playing keyboards and assisting in technical programing for the band. The band also features two interpretive dancers, who were introduced. The reporter next asked Rogue about how they create their electronic sound, and he explained that the band only uses Macintosh computers, and gave a lengthy speech about the superiority of Macintosh computers over PC computers. He very strongly believes...
The reporter then asked Rogue to speak about how it felt to perform for such a huge crowd, and he was very happy with it, the energy he got off of the audience was very inspiring to him. He finally spoke to her about the security guards who attempted to keep Rogue from climbing the side of the stage to perform from several stories up, and how they tried to restrain him when he entered the audience to dance with the crowd. He ended on a note that his art is the most important drive in his life, and that performing and creating to the best of his ability is the most essential aspect of his being.
interview techniques. DiCocco and Crabtree (2006) discuss different interview strategies. One is the unstructured interview, a technique that originates in anthropology study. This technique is used when the type of information to be gathered is not known, or is only loosely-defined, because the technique is open-ended.

Because Saleena attended an international school in Berlin and grew up in a multicultural and multi-linguistic household as well, her educational background and socialization experiences differed significantly from those of her peers.

He began to speak less formally, weaving his previously formulated questions into something that resembled a conversation. This led his interviewees to speak more candidly and with more self-reflection, moving beyond their celebrity images. Chirban's interactive interviewing required more empathy and listening skills on his part, but the trust that it established enabled him to enter the interviewee's world. The new relationship also allowed interviewees to reflect on their
