Seven Moons DVD
Released January 1, 2015
This is the first DVD in Mark’s series on improvisation in both life and music. Seven Moons, which is perfect for students interested in the mysteries of improvisation, comes with a booklet documenting Mark’s thoughts on entering into the intimidating and often pretentious territory of spontaneity in music.
In this video, the second in Mark’s improvisational series, the viewer is treated to an intimate, front row seat as Mark increases the limitations that he is willing to place upon himself in order to increase his depth both as a human being and as an artist. This comes with a nice booklet of photos and a full essay on the art-from of musical improvisation.
Mark’s magical series on improvisation continues with this joyful, and at times humorous, master class on being true to yourself. An added bonus comes in the presence of the charming and endearing master flutist,Yana Nikol.
Mark shares an inspiring and intimate glimpse inside his life as he breaks free from alcohol, drugs, and the fear of public opinion. Translated into both Italian and Polish, the Round Trip DVD has premiered in film festivals all over the world.

Mark Christopher Brandt has developed and nurtured a musical career built on his own unique compositions and improvisations with performances in multiple venues, in a variety of musical groups, up and down the east coast.
He has produced a large discography of recorded works featuring high energy first and second takes of his music which have reached multiple continents across the globe.
Mark's commitment to excellence in art and his unwavering integrity has kept him working, producing and passing on his love of music as a clinician and educator to countless musicians now performing, recording and teaching in their own rite.
Performing and Recording
From 1977 until 2000 Mark was playing somewhere every weekend of the year and sometimes every night of the week. After a brief hiatus he returned to performing full time and did so from 2008 until 2021.
As of 2024 Mark’s presence online is minimal by his
own choice. In recent years he removed all of his social media accounts so that he could step back and forge a new approach to his artistic career.
