Star of ash is the solo project of Heidi Solberg Tveitan aka Ihriel. It has been renamed as Starofash. She used to be in the experimental metal band Peccatum-now disbanded- along with her husband Vegard Tveitan aka Ihsanh, frontman of the legendary black metal outfit, Emperor.

The title "Iter. Viator" stands in Latin for the journey, the traveller. This first attempt included help from Ihsahn and Ulver's Kris G. Rygg. The music alludes to the likes of Arvo Part, Dead Can Dance etc, The second is entitled "the thread" and was released in March 2008.
