There is an electronic ambient work on CD in which microtonal
vibraphones are used:

Michael Stearns: "Jewel" (1979/1985). Recorded using the Eikosany
vibraphones, a 20 tone instrument designed by Erv Wilson.
On "Morning / Jewel", Sonic Atmospheres, 1985.
It is reissued in a shorter version on the new CD "Collected Ambient &
Textural Works 1977-1987", Hearts of Space, 1996. 11068-2

This is Wilson's 3 out of 6 1.3.5.7.9.11 Eikosany (1.3.5 tonic)

1/1 33/32 21/20 11/10 9/8 7/6 99/80 77/60 21/16 11/8 7/5 231/160 3/2
63/40 77/48 33/20 7/4 9/5 11/6 77/40 2/1

I am not certain it's this one used, but it's likely.
