"Soundscapes of Europe: Babel 1-n" is a cycle of language compositions by Ellen Fricke (1998/2025) for solo f emale voices and choir in all European languages\, which takes its startin g point in Chemnitz and Nova Gorica and will continue in future Capital of Culture years. The original basic idea of "Babel 1" (première 1998\, Ber lin) for human performers is to hear language in speech. The new basic ide a for concerts and concert installations with AI performers (e.g. tablets on stands with ChatGPT-4o-Voice) is to hear the language model and its lim its in speech. In the Babelmanufaktur (collaborators: Max Paolucci and Tim o Freye)\, the opportunities and risks of the current automation of intell ectual labour for creative processes are reflected upon alongside automate d support for score production\, the design of AI interpreters and the gen eration of speech sound layers. The manufacturing results are documented o n the website www.babelmanufaktur.org. The cycle "Soundscapes of Europe: B abel 1-n" ends when the AI interpreter for each European language has been replaced by a human interpreter.
