Any plans on collaborating with other artists?
How far is the new album?
Still collaborating with Misha for the new album ?
Will it be more a metal-oriented album ?
Do you plan to keep your signature jazzy and ambient styles in your next record or have your influences evolved? If they have, what direction are they taking you?

Who has been your largest influence as a musician and guitarist? Who do you listen to now, favorite bands, artist's, etc.
Have you thought about calling up Cloudkicker and Chimp Spanner and doing a monster album entitled, "Now Get Ready To Lose Your Mind."
In a time of recycled riffs, loads of bands that sound the same, and very genre oriented styles, your style of music and playing are so unique and authentic.
How do you come up with songs that sets you apart from other bands?
ALSO
How does your experience using an AxeFX compare with your experience using analog equipment?
What are some of the tactics you use to write your music? I mean do you sit yourself down, and force yourself to think of some kind of catchy riff? Or do your fingers just play away and you scavange what you can from it? Or possibly you think about it whilst doing every day things ;D?

Where are you planning to go with your musical career? Permanently write with Animals As Leaders or write some solo stuff? Maybe even sing make an album with just you, your guitar and your vocal cords?!

What aspects of your entire recording/gigging rig do you feel are indispensable?
What, if anything, inspires you? What is your muse?
Where were you when JFK was shot? (Hahaha...ok, not funny.)
What track from Animals As Leaders was your personal favourite and what was the writing process?
