The picture I used here is from a photo I took on December 20, 2025, processed with G'MIC (Kaleidoscopic Symmetry), overlapped with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emblem_of_Osaka,_Osaka.svg by waketasu1977. (c) Eidon. All rights reserved.
The neologism "xenomachìa" comes from ξένος: (Strange, alien, foreign) and μάχη (battle). "Osaka esoK" is ananym* of "Cose a caso" -- Italian for "things at random".
In this piece I play double bass.
