Kiestevsanval is an imaginary utopian place, a city perhaps.
The name came from the combined ends and beginnings of the names of two girls George knew at school.
It was inspired by a different girl who was new to the school in the fifth form.
She was in George's class at school.
She was rather fun and friendly and her name was Anne.
Some of George's father's secret and most esoteric chords are here and there.
The Em9 and Dmaj7 came from Eric Satie's Gymnopedie no. 1.
George had only been playing guitar for about a month or so when he composed this.
