This is not exactly what you asked for, I think, but do listen to Cedille
CDR 90000 018 "Easley Blackwood: Microtonal" (Easley Blackwood,
synthesizer; Jeffrey Kust, guitar). Mr Blackwood has composed some
interesting music using equal-temperment, but with varying numbers of notes
per octave (13 to 24, if I recall). The guitar pieces use 15- and 19-note
tuning, and the others are for synthesizer.
