Gathering of Geeks S01E10: Helena Haaparanta

Gathering of Geeks is back once more with one of Bear’s long-time favorite Finnish vocalists, Helena Haaparanta, who has been known for loaning her voice to many a band and project, with Crimfall, Tacere, Fear of Domination, and the Game Music Collective on the list. She visited Bear’s office to chat about TTRPGs (tabletop roleplaying games), and the art of story- and songcraft, as well as the inherent difficulties in translation.

Listen to these two nerds absolutely geek it up about Bear’s love of storytelling and Helena’s love of songwriting! The former shares some plotlines of her unpublished works, while the latter explains how Finnish makes her think of the Ents from Lord of the Rings.
