colloquialisms and gamertags, such as: The Hive King, Lord Xor, The Supreme Commander, Supreme Commander Xor, The Captain, Captain Fox0r, Fox, FoxdizzzL, Foxzilla, Gray Fox, the New Gray Fox, The Facebook Felon, The Orange Bomber, Chad Legendary, Mechwolf2285, Rockhawk85, Got Lead?, and FoxOOOOr, [1][2], is a former Division I collegiate athlete, American cyberathlete, and co-founder of the eSports organization, Born 1337, alongside Erik 'BraHn, the Raid King' Olson and Daniel 'AssDan' Allen.
Andresen, a rehabilitated felon, is an accomplished thought leader, visionary, social influencer and entrepreneur, as well as an established, and formally-trained academician and autodidact. He is recognized as a craftsman in several fields of study and industrial sectors, including, but not limited to, art, business administration, education, gaming, journalism, mass communication, media and culture, music, psychology, public relations, and world-building. By trade, he is a film director and producer[3], screenwriter, actor, rapper[4], songwriter[5], self-published author[6], mass communications expert and consultant[7], graphic designer, digital artist, Twitch video game streamer, YouTube content creator[8], evangelist, mental health activist, and founder of the Aggropop movement.
He is a globally-certified project management professional (PMP) with the Project Management Institute (PMI). His certification, which must be renewed every three years, which was originally acquired on December 5, 2012 after passing the PMP-certification exam on his first attempt while working for Lighthouse Global[9][10], expired on December 5, 2018, following a string of medical emergencies brought about by stress pertaining to a custody battle[11] for his four children from his second marriage, which he later abandoned to focus on his own mental wellness, citing judicial bias, prior to re-engaging in December, 2021. On November 21, 2023, his certification was permenantly reinstated following a post on his LinkedIn profile.
Andresen came to prominence in 2014 after publishing a radically honest and controversial resume to his personal LinkedIn profile during a manic episode while he was working as a project manager with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA. He was consequently fired from the position after word of his candor spread and the story was subsequently picked up and covered by the website, BroBible. According to Brandon Wenerd, the journalist responsible for the article, Andresen's publication was "One of the funniest thing[s] [he'd] ever come across in [his] days of Internet-ing" and "show[ed] how much of a farce LinkedIn actually [was]"[12]. Wenerd himself questioned the validity of Andresen's identity given the uncommon level of transparency displayed in the resume, saying, "I don't know if Aaron Kyle Andresen -- allegedly a Washington State alumnus who graduated in 2007 - is a real person or not"[13]. A full copy of the resume is included in Andresen's first book 'How Dad Found Himself in the Padded Room: A Bipolar Father's Gift for the World[14]'. In the current version of that book, there is a typo in regard to Andresen's tenure with McDonalds, which was actually in 2007, not 2001.
Andresen acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Communication with an emphasis in advertising from the Edward R. Murrow School of Communication at Washington State University in Pullman, WA upon graduation in 2007[15].
Pre-and-Post-Birth Family Tragedies
[edit]Andresen notes that his family's checkered past, revolving around alcoholism and parental alienation, is one of the main motivators for his activism and artistry. Three events, which transpired before his birth, highlight his impetus:
The Systematic Parental Alienation and Subsequent Death of Owen Elden Fairchild, Jr.
[edit]On July 11, 1949, Aaron's paternal grandmother, Gladys Matthews Fairchild was awarded a default decree of dissolution pertaining to her marriage to Aaron's grandfather, Owen Elden Fairchild, Jr.. At the time, she was pregnant with Aaron's unborn father, Robert, whose last name would be changed after birth. Robert was systematically alienated from a relationship with his biological father, Owen, and the trauma resulting to both of them as a result led to a number of premature deaths in the family.
On October 18, 1974, Owen died in a two-car collision east of North Bend, Washington. Alcohol was believed to have been a factor in the accident. Andresen later noted that [one would have to be foolish to believe Fairchild's alienation from his children didn't play a part in the alcoholism that would play a part in his undoing].[16][17]
The Death of Diana Ruth Dietrich
[edit]On August 12, 1982, Diana Ruth Andresen (surname: Dietrich), Aaron's biological father, Robert Thomas Andresen (née Fairchild)'s second wife, died of anaphylaxis brought about by an allergic reaction to a bee sting in front of the couple's four young children while she was making them dinner.[18]
As a result of Diana's death, Robert, an alcoholic, would spiral further into instability and was later admitted to a psychiatric unit in 1984, where he would meet Aaron's future mother, Marguerite, an inpatient being treated for depression following the dissolution of a two-year first marriage rife with physical abuse. The two married on September 29, 1984, and Aaron was conceived shortly thereafter.
The Death of his Half-Sister Nichole
[edit]On March 5, 2020, while Andresen was incarcerated at Washington State Penitentiary, his half-sister, Nichole Elizabeth Gamache, died of acute alcohol poisoning.
Life and Career
[edit]1985-1989: Pre-Mature Birth and Early Life
[edit]Aaron was born on May 22, 1985 via emergency caesarean section at Stevens Hospital (now Swedish Medical Center) in Edmonds, WA, to two disabled American lower-class parents on Social Security welfare. He has five living half-siblings and one deceased half-sister on his father's side from two separate marriages. He is his mother's only child, and was his father's last known child. Both of his parents are of English ancestry, and his ancestors migrated from the Kingdom of Great Britain and fought alongside other Patriots in the American War for Independence. Several women on his maternal grandfather, Robert Leslie Bateman's, side of the family are members of a New York chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
On Christmas Eve, 1984, his mother, Marguerite Joan Andresen (née Bateman), was informed by doctors that Aaron was stillborn and that she had miscarried following a post-early pregnancy bleeding examination. She was instructed to schedule a date to have Aaron's fetus removed. Upon hearing this, Marguerite sought a second opinion from her family's general practitioner, Malcolm Garber, MD.,[19] of Shoreline, WA, who determined she had not miscarried as originally expected.
In May of the following year, Marguerite began to hemorrhage unexpectedly and severely and was rushed to Steven's Hospital, where it was discovered that she was suffering from placenta previa. Despite high perinatal mortality odds[20], both Aaron and his mother survived. Aaron was born forty-three days premature to his expected date of birth, United States' Independence Day. Andresen cites his expected birthdate as one of many examples of synchronicity in action in his life, given his family involvement in the American Revolution, and refers to it often as one of the main sources from which he derives confidence.
The first year of Andresen's life set him up for struggle. During that year, his mother and father divorced following alleged acts of infidelity on his father's part. After the divorce, Robert left the family and his son to start a new life on his own. Andresen and his father would not reunite until 18 years later after his wife, Shannon, tracked them down, in an act of love, unbeknownst to Aaron.
Aaron's notable life of reckless driving and questionable decision-making began early at the age of two. According to eye-witness testimony from both his mother, Marguerite, and his maternal grandfather, Robert, Aaron disengaged the parking brake of his family's Chevrolet Citation while Robert was working on repairing the vehicle. When later asked about the incident, Aaron told interviewers he doubted the validity of his memories regarding the incident until he later found record of it in his mother's diary while playing in her room while he was older. Joan later confirmed the incident did indeed happen, noting the family's gratitude to God for the providence involved with the parking brake staying engaged until Bateman had gotten out from underneath the car to grab something inside of the house.
Aaron recalls ages 3 and 4 being relatively positive in his life, citing family holiday celebrations such as birthdays, Thanksgivings and Christmases as being profound foundational experiences for him. According to his mother, Marguerite, his Christian family put particular emphasis on togetherness during the holiday seasons, aiming to establish long-term traditions - most notably the annual tradition of reading the historical accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ in the Book of Luke, Chapter 2, which her father started and Aaron subsequently passed down to his children, Jayden, Jaxson, Owen and Finley.
Andresen has noted that the active imagination which has enabled him to put such extensive work into crafting his fictional planet, Annai[21][22][23][24], has existed since as early as four years old, and has noted many times during interviews that he would often rely on conversing with his stuffed animals during 'town conferences' he would hold in order to pass the time while his grandpa, a master carpenter and shipwright who was also the reverend at their local church in Shoreline, Washington, the Aurora Church of the Nazarene, worked. He attributes being an only child and growing up alone as main factors involved in strengthening his ability to imagine and create things that don't exist.
1989-1996: Pre-School and Elementary School Years, Fascination with Gaming, Sexual Abuse and Arson
[edit]Andresen's academic and religious foundations began in 1989 after his family enrolled him in pre-school on the Crista Ministries campus in Shoreline. His love for gaming began the same year during the holidays, after his family acquired an Atari 2600. Andresen recalls seeing his mother and cousin Jason playing Pac-Man, and being starstruck, "It was surreal seeing the little yellow guy chase and eat the mean-looking ghosts. The lights, sounds, and concerto of it all working in unison brought an undescribable curiosity and joy to my soul that has never left".
Andresen's life was nearly cut short during the lowlight of 1989 after he and his childhood friend and next-door neighbor, Travis Thorpe, burned down Thorpe's Ballinger Homes apartment while the adults in the home were sleeping.
As a result of the blaze, during which no one was seriously injured, Andresen's mother was instructed to enroll him and his friend in safety courses at the local fire department. Andresen references this incident in his first book, 'How Dad Found Himself in the Padded Room: A Bipolar Father's Gift for the World", and has questioned if some subconscious anger inside of him led him to do what he did. He has since shirked responsibility for the incident, rationalizing it as nothing more than childhood curiousity with fire.
A year later, in 1990, Andresen's mother enrolled him at Echo Lake Elementary School, a few short blocks from his maternal grandparents' home where he and his mother lived part-time in Shoreline (then Seattle). During kindergarten, under the tutelage of his teacher, Ms. Scranton, whom Andresen lists as one of his inspirations during the opening credits of his 'The Death of Xor' movie[25], Andresen flourished. At numerous times during his shows on YouTube, Andresen has noted his particular fondness for kindergarten during a time he says was the last he remembers of unadulterated childhood innocence.
In 1991, in the first grade, at the age of six, Andresen began to challenge and struggle with the authority figures in his life - most notably, his teacher, Ms. Otness. He would later attribute his disdain for authority to the lack of a real father in his life - both in his artistry and in conversations with his closest circle of friends.
During an incident with his longest tenured friend, Jordan James VanHollebeke, Andresen recalls being smacked and having his chin grabbed and shaken violently by Otness after pushing up VanHollebeke's middle finger in an overt display.
In 1992, Andresen, wrote his first two illustrated short stories in his teacher, Ms. Hopfe's second-grade class. Both were illustrated fictions; one about the Seattle Seahawks defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, and another about Mario and Luigi navigating Super Mario Bros. 3 to save Princess Toadstool.
At the age of 8, in 1993, Aaron was sexually assaulted and sodomized by a neighbor boy in his room at his mother's home. Andresen has not spoken openly to the public about the incident, but has noted he plans to release a video to his YouTube channel discussing the incident and its impacts on his psyche at a later date and time.
1996-1998: Troubled Junior High School Years
[edit]1998-2003: Family Intervention and Academic Recovery
[edit]2004-2013: College, Family Life and Project Management Career
[edit]Ivan Emmanuel Irizarry III knows more about that part of my life. He and his family were instrumental in helping me survive that traumatic experience, as was the community at Marriage Builders in White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
I have several more home videos from that time I have not published, yet, but I'll get around to it. I just rearranged the office and pulled out the old MiniDV recorder and dusted off my Elgato capture card in preparation for the Twitch road to partner I've been on now for the past five years or so. Maybe six. It's all blending together.
Anyhow,
I'll never forget it, because it was the moment I realized I might actually be capable of accomplishing something good in the game. I'd had a long, storied history of success in first-person-shooters (FPS), but I was horrible at multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games.
2013: Spiritual Awakening, Hospitalization and Diagnosis
[edit]In March of 2013,
My children were taken from me in 2014. I was gaslighted by the court system and doctors, persecuted for my faith, then after being abused so badly by the system that I ended up in a padded room, I was taken out of the padded room while incarcerated and coerced under duress, while not receiving adequate medical care, to sign away my parental rights in a corrupt parenting plan that should never have been put into place. Paperwork from the same stay in Snohomish County Jail in their observation unit, where I was not being cared for adequately, was later used by the Social Security Administration to determine I was medically compromised.
In the same hearing at Snohomish County Superior Court, my mental health was used as a weapon to "prove my incompetence to raise my children", while in the same breath, the attorneys listed below (among others) from the Washington State Bar Association, including the judge, allowed my wife's attorney to coerce me into signing away my property, tax-return access, and parenting rights.
These actions pushed me from making $90,000 a year as a Project Management Institute Project Management Professional into homelessness upon release from jail (which was done at 3:00am in the middle of the winter with no access to transportation in the middle of a foot of snow and a blizzard 14 miles from home in swim trunks (as I was pulled forcefully, out of a dead sleep in my bed by police and was threatened to have my arm broken if I didn't "stop resisting arrest" as my face was slammed against the dresser in my bedroom and I was half asleep still trying to figure out what the fuck was happening).
By the way, the definition of 'resisting arrest' in that cop's eyes was apparently standing up, immediately putting my hands up and putting no force towards anyone in resistance.
I was told I was under arrest for tagging my wife in a Facebook post on my own wall, during which I was doing my best to vent the emotional pain of losing my kids and wife out of self-preservation. Because it was considered 'Breaking a no-contact order' that was entered into effect because I tried to be sexual with the woman I had been married to for over a decade with her clothes still on after being told repeatedly by her over the course of two years that our sex life would only improve if I "did more around the house". At the the time, I was working 80-hours a week, on-call 24/7, in an industry that is so devestatingly stressful it is notorious for killing people via cardiac events (which happened to at least one client of mine while I worked at Lighthouse Global).
Human touch is my greatest love language, which I was told by my wife, I needed to be more in touch with, in order to improve our relationship -- and then it was also weaponized against me, systematically. Child Protective Services was called, after I was obsessively cleaning for eight hours - driven to the point of insanity - by the lack of consistency in the messaging being given to me. The CPS employee charged with the case entered into my household and began telling me I was abusing my children by allowing them to wrestle with each other, that I was teaching them to become violent, and that I was an irresponsible father.
When I stood my ground, and told her to never come into my home and tell me how to raise my children when she had no visibility into me reading them bedtime stories every night, playing with them ceaselessly, and going to all of their sporting events, she looked at me and said, 'You're going to regret that', then stormed out of the house. Shortly after which the case was escalated to her supervisors. I was told by CPS my wife called them, and I was told by my wife that she didn't call them.
I became paranoid, sick, and increasing mentally unstable. After an event during which I was masturbating with my wife alone in our bedroom while she was across the room from me - which she never once objected to, during which she was nursing our six-month old son (he was nowhere near me and not aware of what was going on), one of our other kids ran - unexpectedly - into the bedroom, during which point I immediately tucked my penis back into my pants to avoid exposing him to that scene. That was also used against me in court later with people claiming "I was masturbating in front of my children and was a sick deviant".
Back to the blizzard in Everett upon release: Being faced with what felt like certain death under those circumstances, as I was turned away from using the phone at Denny's down the road from the jail (because I could not afford to buy something to eat), I panicked and began to weep. My heart began to race, and when someone finally came by (individuals from Everett Police Department) I was laughed at and told - in other words - to go fuck myself. I was offered no help, and left in snow to fend for myself and freeze to death with nothing but apathy from the very public officials charged to protect the community.
By an act of God, I was able to survive long enough to get to my mother's who had to risk eviction to house me, then was forced to choose between the ability to see her grandchildren and protecting me from being homeless in the middle of the winter by my wife. When my mother chose to house me long enough for me to survive out of the goodness of her heart, my wife subsequently told her she would never see the very grandchildren she helped raise from infancy as a result of her decision to protect me.
I turned to drugs in an attempt to satiate the pain until I conjured enough strength to pull myself out of the same fate, alcoholism, that killed my sister, father and grandfather while being forced, repeatedly, to sit helplessly night after night, alongside my mother as she bawled herself to sleep, unable to comprehend the vitriol from my wife.
I attempted to remain friends with my in-laws, and was slowly and systematically removed from my relationships with them by my controlling, abusive, borderline personality and narcissitic wife. She manipulated all of them to the point that they told me they could not talk to me anymore. It got so bad, her father disowned her. Whether they have a relationship anymore, or if he's even alive, I do not know.
Back to the Family Law hearing: Last I checked, a lack of mental acuity prevents a ward of the state from entering into a binding agreement. I was then continually abused to the brink of suicide through the court system repeatedly until I finally found enough strength to attempt to overturn the Parenting Plan, only to be told, "The statute of limitations to overturn it had passed". All evidence in the Family Law case was hastily destroyed by the officials before I was released from jail.
My oldest son, who was five at the time, almost killed himself at the age of 9, threatened to murder his entire classroom, and stabbed his teacher with a pencil. He had never once exhibited violent tendencies or anger before being removed from my care. Every attempt I made to explain to judges that I knew what was best for him and my other three boys more than they did, as I grew up without a father and saw and experienced first hand how devestatingly painful and horrific the trauma it caused was, I was dismissed repeatedly and told "This is in the children's best interests". My children's voices were suppressed and not taken seriously every time they tried to express that they needed me and wanted to be with me -- that they never once felt threatened by me.
I never would have discovered this, if I wasn't paying my child support for them (which I still do), working full-time (I still do, out of the goodness of my heart at ZERO cost to ANYONE), and providing them with medical insurance at the time. When I received the news about my son through the emergency room at EvergreenHealth and took it back to court, telling them my son was at risk of suicide in the conditions he was in and that custody needed to be restored, the courts put a gag-order on me again and said "I had zero need to have access to his medical records" and enforced an order to stop me from gaining access to them again.
Three of my children wept and cried in hopelessness at several of the visits I was granted three years after they were first taken from me, telling them they wished they could spend the night with me, or come see me. I was only allowed four hours a month to be with them. Then COVID came and they stopped visits completely stating "Social distancing rules".
My multiple attempts to regain custody were ignored, I was forced to take medication that made me physically ill and led me to the brink of suicide, and then had my depression which was exacerbated by the courts with-holding my children from me after I grew up with an absent father (I always promised myself I'd never abandon my kids) was weaponized against me in court to "prove" I was still mentally unstable and unworthy of custody of my children.
It has been 8 years. My oldest son is 14 years old now. I had a gag-order placed on me by the courts which prevented me from talking about the court case to my children at all during visitation, and then once I got to a breaking point and could no longer stand being away from them -- watching them literally cling to the door as the supervisor pried them out of visits and they cried and screamed not wanting to be taken away from me -- I texted my wife, who had a restraining order due to Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families threatening to put the kids in foster care if she didn't take them away from me - and was thrown in prison for nearly a year.
The text message was non-violent. I am now a felon for life, and have not seen my children in over two years.
When I was released, I decided I had to walk away out of self-preservation. If you leaders allow this to happen and do not rectify the situation immediately, you're responsible for this disgusting Family Law corruption to continue and if anything else God will hold you accountable.
I don't need to raise up an army. He sees all of this, and He'll read each and every one of your hearts. I suggest you do what's right. For your own health and for a nation that is facing this bullshit everyday WAY TO FUCKING OFTEN.
First step toward justice is disbarring these disgusting, scummy individuals. It's not even about reparation for damages in terms of money. Fuck money. I want my fucking children back and my God-given right to be a FATHER:
2014-16: First Incarceration, Second Rape, Homelessness and Drug Use
[edit]Andresen was again sexually assaulted, allegedly after being drugged at a Halloween party in 2016, this time by a man named Baltazar Garcia. Garcia has since transitioned from a gay male to a transexual woman and disappeared from the public eye. The alleged rape by Garcia, who Andresen has said bore an uncanny resemblance to one of his main muses' (and subject of a variety of his creative works), Lady Gaga's fictional alter-egos, Jo Calderone was never charged in a criminal court of law and Andresen never pressed charges, citing his belief in forgiveness of sins, however the event had a long-lasting impact on Andresen's personal life and led to an extensive period of dysphoria, during which, most notably, from 2016 to 2018, Andresen recorded multiple songs expressing his delusional belief that he was a bisexual following what he called post-rape sexual-orientation confusion (these songs have since been made private with no word from Andresen as to whether they will ever again be republished); during that same time period, Garcia inspired a portion of the song, 'Yo, It's Aero'[1], what is at this time Andresen's most well-known and widely-heard musical work, currently having amassed over 100,000 listens on his SoundCloud page.
2016-19: New Career Beginnings
[edit]In-Progress
2019-20: Car Accident and Second Incarceration
[edit]Andresen was housed in the same unit as notable serial killers, Joseph Kondro, Charles Rodman Campbell, Westley Allan Dodd, Kenneth Bianchi, Robert Lee Yates, and Gary Ridgway.
The unit Andresen claims he was isolated in following exposure to COVID-19 and testing positive is seen below:
Andresen claims he never affiliated with a gang during his alleged tenure at Washington State Penitentiary, but did note seeing blood shed on repeat occasion, including a gang hit on a friend named Roman, who chose to act as a missile for an unnamed Asian-and-Pacific-Islanders prison gang.
Andresen claims he does this for comfort, but others question the validity of his statement, pondering other scenarios linked to his close family connections with the United States military, and in other circles, with his encounters with Satan and other demonic entities during his decorated nine-year tour working with Delta Force.
On December 3rd, 2021, an unidentified agent from Aurora, Colorado, gained unauthorized access to the Meta account Andresen opened after his second separation from his childrens' mother, Shannon, in 2013, while the company was operating under the Facebook brand.
Around this same period of time, unbeknownst to Genius staff and the general public, the Facebook page associated with the ‘Fox0r’ brand was also erased from Facebook’s server farm. It is not known if this transpired before or after Facebook rebranded to the name Meta.
removed fro Later, a message coming from Andresen’s phone was sent by said Meta account to Levinson’s Facebook wall claiming responsibility for the attack under the callsign, ‘Black Fox’.
Aaron and Sam share a close kinship, and are seen below in a photo from 2021 prior to attending service. Andresen often refers to Slater, a fellow believer, as his ‘brother-in-Christ’, and credits him for helping him grow in faith and courage on his personal walk.
Around 2016, Andresen freestyled the song, ‘The Chosen King’ in honor of Sam, who was instrumental in encouraging Aaron to continue his walk despite his struggles with depression pertaining to the loss of his wife and four children.
It is through Slater that Aaron met another prominent figure in many of his works of art, Jessica Leigh Levinson.
Slater and Levinson attended Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood together while Aaron lived with his children and wife Shannon in the Bordeaux Apartment Homes at 16520 North Road C-202.
Andresen is seen in the kitchen of that family apartment during a birthday celebration photo from below.
He believes these strange, and regular occurrences are not a curse, but rather a gift from God. When asked why he elaborated: “Listen, I get it. The eye thing is weird. At first, I thought it was pink eye, or eye strain, but then I went back and reviewed some of the songs I freestyled during episodes of divine madness like, "I Got Punched, That’s Right (laughter) … that song was trash, but I was learning … and I noticed that in ‘The Mystery of Life” and I’d rapped what I believed was random nonsense about gouging out God’s eyeball.
Who knows. But, I suppose it all fits together in some oddly beautiful way. My first mixtape was titled, ‘Pray With One Eye Open’, Gray Fox’s exoskeleton suit has one eye, I’m also a Pirate Who Doesn’t Do Anything much like Miss Fortune and Matt Thiessen.
Just another sign to follow on the road to being whatever it is God created me to be. Right now, that’s a 36-year-old struggling artist with a headache and a strong yearning for Nova Rockafeller, even though I’m listening to Lady Gaga. God bless her heart, she’s so patient. I love her. I’m listening to ‘Sour Candy’ on ‘Chromatica’ as we speak."
2020-Present: Recovery
[edit]In November 2021, Aaron produced a short on his second Facebook page he maintained at http://www.facebook.com/fox0r after being prompted by his friend and self-proclaimed saint, Samuel David Slater to pursue reconciliation with his ex-wife. Skeptical, Aaron did it, anyways. Later, Andresen would notice a misspelling on the Washington State Digital Archives website while searching for divorce records pertaining to him and his first - and second - wife, Shannon's marital bond. Unable to find records under he and Shannon Aileen Andresen (née Bresnahan);s name
Writing Career
[edit]Andresen is a self-published author on Amazon Kindle-Direct Publishing. As of the present, he has only published his works in digital format, but has plans to pursue print-releases at a later date.
Beginnings and Influences
[edit]Andresen has stated during interviews that his love of reading and writing began with his maternal grandparents, who would read to him as a child. Most notably, in his mind, are two specific series: Bertha Corbett Melcher's 'Sunbonnet Babies', and Stan and Jan Berenstains' 'The Berenstain Bears'.
The Padded Room Trilogy
[edit]Art Career
[edit]Musical Career
[edit]Aaron has cited a number of musical influences on his thirteen mixtape albums on SoundCloud, in order of creation: 'Pray With One Eye Open', 'Destruction of the Aerodrull', 'This Album Sucks', 'Return of the Father', 'Straight from Annai', 'A Divine Lobotomy', 'Self-Doubt and Loathing', 'Deliverance', 'The Absurdist', 'Corporate Insurgency', '29:11', 'Pooter, Duder, and Scooter', and 'North 199'. When asked why he released so many mixtapes of varying quality, Andresen stated that his original plan was to release twelve albums to represent the 12 Tribes of Israel out of reverence, devotion and gratitude to God for the miraculous works He has performed in his life, but that in the end it didn't turn out as he had hoped. When asked why Andresen had released many disjointed songs that were of seemingly poor quality, Andresen stated that he struggled with the decision to keep them public. He further elaborated by saying that he chose to do so to provide raw vulnerability and visibility into the process of learning as an artist in an effort to inspire other fledgling musicians to embrace the journey of growth with radical acceptance, knowing that their works will not always be of highest quality during the beginning stages of their career while they are learning, but that they are equally important to release in order to show both growth and humility. He concluded, while visibly emotional, by stating that the majority of his early works were created while he was teaching himself to freetyle during manic episodes while he was experiencing racing and disordered thoughts brought on during bouts of unmedicated madness exacerbated by stress he was facing while fighting for custody of his four children.
Influences
[edit]Andresen enjoyed a number of musicians growing up, stating the first song he ever remembers listening to as a child was on a small cassette tape his mom gave him: Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus: "Yeah, I'd sit there for hours in my room and listen to that tape. I was fascinated by this new thing I was discovering called, 'music'. I fell in love with it in an instant and knew I wanted to do it when I got older, too, because of how happy it made me, and how good it made me feel'.
