It sounds like you need a stereo auralization of various

if that's the official name for it, yes, right.
Not sure about being "official" but Auralization is at least a term
used in academic discussion and acoustics consultation for some years
(maybe 15-20 years at least now?), meaning the scientific simulation
of sound sources in real space with real acoustics.
e.g. see:
http://auralization.tkk.fi/EAAsymposium09
where you can find some publications, also some software and other
stuff.
... that said, in audio engineering, it'd be a down-mix that you're

Either way there are still various (essentially aesthetic/artistic)
decisions to make about the specification of the auralization.
So you might find that the best results for generalised playback
(headphone or speakers), is just to make aesthetic decisions and do
a multichannel downmix.
At any rate, if you want to explore ambisonic and/or binaural down-
mixes, the IEM tools for doing this are all in Pd extended.
I should had said before: it would be good if the codings would be
suitable for as many playback situations as possible, as they would
also be heard in that way (cd, radio, stream, headphones, ...). But
if for example the headphone version is particularly good, we might
think about doing a version for it.
Also some words about the movements, which I didn't say first: there
are several types of movements (each performance is different),
sometimes circles, sometimes irregular ones, sometimes (very) slow,
sometimes fast, ... They're not indispensable to the rest of the
musical discourse going on, but they integrate with it [so we
think]. So it would be nice to have at least an impression of the
space, as it won't be *that* precise.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll look into them later.
