"Hazy Heart Pump is a collection of six new chamber works for strings ..." Ted has told The Violin Channel.

"These pieces are all born out of collaborations with dear friends ... inspiring independent musicians like Miki-Sophia Cloud, Diana Wade, Ashley Bathgate and the Mivos Quartet - who infuse their artistic practice with passion and challenge ..." the 2009 Gaudeamus Prize in Music Composition recipient has said.

"The music is sensuous and grimy with a driving heartbeat, built with familiar sounds in strange contexts  ... the search for new resonances with familiar music is what inspired these works."
