Peeter Vähi (born 18 May 1955, Tartu) is a [[:Category: Estonia|Estonian]] composer. In his computer music, one can sometimes recognize original combinations of European and Oriental traditions. He often uses the computer in combination with instruments of the symphonic orchestra.

Vähi's work Relaxatio, written in 1992 and inspired by Asian intonal elements of Tibetan canticles, is considered a noted electronic work of psychotherapeutic music.<sup>[1]</sup>
