exactly how do you become diagnosed with this? smells like bullshit to me. "Oh yeah I'm such a serious aahhhrrtist that I SEE music as colors..."

Is this real life?

Awesome ability.

heartbreak incarnate

I've met people that do it (dated one, Patrick Stump, John Mayer). It's definitely not bullshit.

I presumed everybody does to some extent? That's the news to me.

EDIT: Just played a few chords -
Am = red
Em = brown
G = green
D = blue

I think I have it too. Every time I play music on iTunes, my screen starts changing colors and the colors accelerate and react to changes in the music.

Wait, that happens to me too!

This kind of stuff really fascinates me. With the power we are starting to get the ability to transfer brain activity to video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsjDn..._ embedded#!), I would love to see what people with this see.

Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder, Kanye West. Makes a ton of sense.

I really have no idea what I'm talking about though so I could be wrong.

it's absolutely a condition.
