o'
1. an abbreviated form of of, as in o'clock or will-o'-the-wisp.
2. an abbreviated form of on.

task- comes from the name of the composer/arranger of all of these interludes. He is called tasuku, but his name is written stylized as "task", for two reasons: (1) "tasuku", when spoken naturally, sounds like "task" (the vowels get glazed over); and (2) keep reading.
The -inst part of the new title comes from the Japanese word insuto, which in turn is a shortened form of insutoramentaru. The words come from the English word instrumental, and mean the same thing as well.
It's kind of hard to explain, but as you can see above, the Japanese language can only represent English words with "extra" vowels. With many of these task- titles, they remove the extra vowels to come up with something cool (here is reason #2 for tasuku's name appearing as "task").
Rundown of task- titles:
taskinlude tasuku's in(ter)lude
taskinillusion tasuku's in(terlude)-illlusion
tasking tasuku-ing (i.e. doing what tasuku does, a pun on the word "tasking")
taskinst tasuku's instrumental
The titles make sense if you look at them.
