The performance director where I studied music had it. She was amazing. One day, seemingly flustered that what I was playing on guitar was being duplicated right back at me on her piano, I decided to adlib something. It was kind of like Megadeth meets Schonberg meets Cecil Taylor. Well guess what, she played it right back at me. I couldn't even repeat what I did.
When I asked her how she did that, she replied it is natural, that she always had it and never tried to better it cuz it just happened.
Unlike the composition prof I had that was similar but would see colors for different pitches. I can still hear him saying, "modulate, modulate, too much red."
