What I'm looking for

I'm a french musician, in love with the american infinite roads (that I've never seen excepted in movies). I'm working on a musical project that could be described as a "translation" of the road into a musical piece.
This piece would sound like something very minimalist and hypnotic.
I'm looking for someone who could film for me one of these roads from his/her car, by night. With this video material, we would determine a translation's code. For an example :
- White Stripes = Guitar chords
- Cars light = Organ
- Massive dark objects on the sides of the road = bass vibrations
etc.
If you are interested by this project, or if want to know more about it, tell me soon !
When I would have found some people interested in, we could start talking about the way to choose a road's section, the way to translate it, etc.
It has to be a collective project !
I think it could be very interesting to confront different views of the american highways (the european one, and the american one), and to mesurate their fiction's degree.
