Ennio Morricone, one of the most prolific and respected music composers in the industry, who scored over 500 films in his career, says he’s pretty much done with Quentin Tarantino after “Django Unchained.”

The track above was featured on the film, as well as 3 other short instrumental pieces but, Morricone says, if he had a choice, he would have given Tarantino none for the film.

“I wouldn’t like to work with him again, on anything. He said last year he wanted to work with me again ever since Inglourious Basterds, but I told him I couldn't, because he didn’t give me enough time. So he just used a song I had written previously,” Morricone says, as cited by The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s the way Tarantino works that doesn’t sit well with the composer, he further explains: he’s frustrating and uses the music without coherence, which makes him quite a pain in the you-know-what.

“[He] places music in his films without coherence [and] you can't do anything with someone like that,” Morricone notes.

As for “Django,” he didn’t even like it because it had too much blood for his taste.
