Corker’s work began in 1995 working with Paul Conboy as A.P.E. with the release of the downtempo, imaginary noir soundtrack album ‘Striplight’. Tracks such as ‘Snake’s Pass’ and the title track opened the door to soundtrack work, and re-written, formed the backbone of the music to ‘Face’ directed by Antonia Bird and starring Ray Winstone and Robert Carlyle. Further soundtracks with Bird included ‘Ravenous’ starring Guy Pearce, BAFTA award winning ‘Care’ and ‘The Hamburg Cell' which also initiated a collaboration with cinematographer/director Florian Hoffmeister. Corker co-wrote with Conboy the score to Hoffmeister’s ‘Three Degrees Colder’, winner of the Silver Leopard at Locarno Film Festival and performed by The Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra. He also solo, wrote the score in 2016 to Hoffmeister’s ‘The Have-Nots’, music that consisted of eroding locked grooves and a string quartet.

As A.P.E. Corker recorded an album in Rio, ‘Ebb and Flow’ with Brazilian artist Celia Vaz, also remixing artists such as Azimuth and Hermeto Pascoal, all for Far Out Recordings. After one electronic album as Soul Circuit for Talking Loud offshoot Sirkus, future collaborative work with Conboy was released as Corker/Conboy. There were two albums of homemade post-rock, ‘In Light of That Learnt Later’ and ‘Radiant Idiot’ as well as a remix EP 6 for 5, including remixes by David Grubbs and Xela.
