This week's Sonic Moment of Calm demonstrates that not all such moments need come from the wilderness, or from beyond the city limits.

RNZ Concert host Bryan Crump recorded the sweet sound of a blackbird singing among the high rise buildings of central Wellington. 

Turns out beautiful sights and sounds can be anywhere - often when and where you least expect them.

Why not enjoy this one in your own time?
