Scattering Stars Like Dust is a solo album by Iranian musician Kayhan Kalhor, released on 9 June 1998 in the United States through Traditional Crossroads records.[2]

Scattering Stars Like Dust is a 47-minute suite for Kamancheh and the Tombak drum. Like most Persian music, it is improvised and based on a large traditional collection of short, melodic motifs. It contains three sections.[1] Some unusual time signatures come from Kurdish music and the album's title from a poem by Rumi.[3]
