William XO presents Oneiros

Live Music Performance and Exhibition 

William XO presents Oneiros, a live music performance marking the premiere and release of his new album, developed during his artist residency at MATI Mesaria.

William XO’s artist residency is the first residency presented as part of RESONANCE 2026 at MATI Mesaria. The residency became the creative home of Oneiros, his latest album, inspired by Santorini’s landscape, rhythms, and cultural environment.

The residency culminates in the live premiere of Oneiros at MATI Mesaria — an immersive live music performance bringing together electronic music, visual art, the atmosphere of the gallery, and the unique energy of Santorini. The performance is accompanied by the presentation of a new body of visual works developed alongside Oneiros as part of William XO’s creative process.

About the artist

William XO is a French multidisciplinary artist working across music and painting. His practice explores the relationship between sound, color, and emotion, creating immersive experiences where visual art and music continuously influence one another.
